  • My kindergartners and I love rocking out to Alphabet Rockers!
    author: Joanne Chung, Kindergarten Teacher, Glendale, CA

    My kindergartners and I love rocking out to Alphabet Rockers! Not only are the students dancing and having a great time, but they are learning as well! The songs are hip with interesting beats and the kids think the songs are "cool". Some of our favorites are: Countdown Boogie Down, The Seven Days of the Week and the kids love "rapping" to The Money Song. I look forward to hearing more from Alphabet Rockers and encourage everyone to check it out!

  • love this!

  • Rock n' Rollin Teaching!

    I have been teaching kindergarten in San Francisco's Hunter's Point for over 12 years now! I always have a challenging bunch of kids I am teaching, who know when they hear bad music. Me too! I am also a musician. I quiver at the sound of all the cheesy laden songs that are out there for my students to listen too. I have been searching for this ALBUM(CD) my whole teaching life. I find myself singing the 100 days of school in the shower. My Students are soooooo excited about the songs they beg me to play them over and over again. As a teacher, mother, and a musician, I cannot give this album enough stars, seriously. ABC ROCKERS, you rock my world, make my life as a teacher even more exciting and help me make learning and teaching fun. YEAH YEAH YEAH!!!!!!

  • My 3 yr old loves it!

    I brought home Alphabet Rockers last night and my son was immediately interested. He loved the art-work and we had a ball dancing to the music. Instant fave's were 'The Rainbow Song' and 'The Money Song.' It's great.

    This CD is fun and has great educational value as well. Definitely reminds me of School-House Rock which is still a favorite of mine...So far my 1st Grade Nephew seems to like the music.

    Kids music always makes me nervous -- a lot of it can be overwhelming after a few 100 plays. But this is fun and funky and I enjoy listening to it too! The Countdown Boogie Down is our favorite.
