This is a FAVORITE of our grandchildren! It's very interactive and they want to do the motions with the songs. They'll learn lots of preschool concepts.
Katie Cat and her animated friends, Rex Rooster and Freddy Fox, guide young learners through this fun-filled video, providing lots of laughter along the way. Children unleash their imaginations and dance along with real kids on screen while imitating animals from the farm, forest, and zoo.
When originally developing this DVD, we had in mind a video program that would appeal primarily to preschool children, ages 3 through 5. As we began production, we frequently found that the older siblings of preschool children enjoyed these songs and movements too. So, we made certain to feature some older children, around the ages of 6 and 7. (Younger siblings barely age 2 were highly interested as well.
Although we expect most of the audience for this video to be in the preschool range, it is a DVD that parents could easily play at home or in a travel setting for children of different ages to enjoy. Besides fun games where children imitate the sounds and movements that animals make, we've included a lot of really spectacular footage of live animals, many in their natural habitats.
We are finding that preschool teachers, as well as parents, love this video. It's not just something that children watch… it gets them up and participating! It's fun and informative, plus it encourages playful
activity.

Designed for the enjoyment and active 'dance along' participation of children ages 3 to 6, "Dance With The Animals is a superbly produced and presented 45 minute DVD in which young viewers learn about more than sixty different animals and put their own creative imaginations into play by imitating those animals. Combining live action with animation, children not only enjoy the music and dance (which enhances the motor skills associated with creative movement and the cognitive skills of listening and following directions) while learning about animals common to the farm, the forest, and found at the zoo. With a total running time of 44 minutes, this full-color, informative and fun, "Dance With The Animals" will make a wonderfully popular addition to family, preschool, kindergarten, and community library DVD collections for kids.-Midwest Book Review Children's Bookwatch 2006
This DVD grabs the attention of the children instantly. It not only introduces children with many different types of animals, but it also teaches children about different habitats of animals. And the kids love acting out the different animals during the "dances." -Robert R.
"I just had to call and tell you that my granddaughter, who is not yet even two, loves Dance With the Animals. It's been 34 minutes into the video and her eyes have not left the screen. She is doing the movements and making the sounds like the animals. When the kids put their hands up, her hands go up too. She especially likes the little tiny girl. Just had to call and let you know how pleased I am!" -a grandparent who phoned Rock 'N Learn
LYRICS
Animals, Animals
CHORUS:
Animals, animals
Everywhere you go
Some that you have seen before
And some you just don’t know
Animals, animals
Living all around
Up in the air, way over there
And even underground
Some animals live at my house
They are called my pets
I take good care of them
I even take them to the vet
Some animals live on a farm
The farmer cares for them
Sometimes they help the farmer, too
By staying in their pens
Some animals live in the forest
And others live in the zoo
Or the jungle, or even the desert
In lakes and rivers and oceans too
(repeat chorus)
Learn About Pets
A pet is an animal
That lives with you
A special friend
Who is always true
Many different pets
Can be found
To find a pet you like
Just look all around
Dogs can come
In all shapes and sizes
They wag their tails
And do tricks for prizes
Cats have thin whiskers
And tails that are long
They can jump very high
’Cause their muscles are so strong
Parrots are pets
That can learn how to talk
They have pretty feathers
And they sometimes squawk
Fish live in water
And they like to swim
They have lots of scales
And pretty little fins
Land turtles and lizards
Are not like fish
They need just a little water
You can put it in a dish
Gerbils and hamsters
Like to dig in the ground
In their squeaky wheels
They run round and round
Yes, a pet is an animal
That lives with you
A special friend
Who is always true
Pet Care
A pet is an animal
That lives with you
To take good care of it
Here’s a few things you must do
Make sure your pet
Has food to eat
And clean, clear water
Just can’t be beat
You need to clean up
Any mess it’s made
And be sure your cats
And dogs don’t stray
Some pets need
Good exercise
So walk your dog
And have things for cats to climb
Some pets need
Shots from a vet
That’s an animal doctor
Who can help your pet
Yes, pets are animals
That live with you
Take good care of them
And they’ll be good friends too
Pet Sounds Game
Pets can make so many sounds
So many sounds, all kinds
of sounds
Pets can make so many sounds
Listen to them all around
A doggie barks his
"bow, wow, wow"
While the little cat says “meow”
“Bow, wow, wow”
“Meow, meow” (repeat)
A parrot can make a giant squawk
and sometimes he can even talk
“Raaaht, raaaht”
“Hello, hello” (repeat)
Fish just swish as they swim
While lizards and turtles look at them
Gerbils and hamsters squeak
and squeak
While all around their cage
they sneak
