River Song with Audio CD by Banana Slug String Band

River Song by Steve Van Zandt, illustrated by Katherine Zecca - comes with a Music CD!

Rivers make beautiful music - from the trickle of snowmelt to the roar of a waterfall - and here it is joined by the music of the Banana Slug String Band. River Song celebrates rivers as a fascinating, ever-changing source of life and joy.

The attached CD presents the Slug's vibrant rendition of River Song, accompanied by bluegrass-country singer (and "river rat") Laurie Lewis and "folk-cellist" Barry Phillips.

Van Zandt's vibrant book and CD delight and educate; they ripple and resound with the Slugs' hallmark combination of science, conservation, music, humor, and imagination." - Pamela Michael, Founding Director, River of Words Youth Poetry & Art

River Song is a charming book which provides children insight into the water cycle, watersheds, and some of the critters that depend on the water in our rivers. The sense of playfulness and joy in the lyrics of the song will no doubt delight young people and draw them into the wonders of the natural world. - Judy Wheatley Maben, Education Director Water Education Foundation, California Project WET
