Interesting Facts and Photos about Sharks
Category: Animal Songs- Ocean Published: Saturday, June 12, 2010 Whenever I write a new animal song for kids, I try to learn as much about the animal as I can. I first thought about writing a kids' song about sharks after visiting an aquarium and seeing these fascinating creatures up close. I could not fit all the things I learned about sharks into one song, so I have included a list of fun facts about sharks below, as well as some photos. Interesting Facts about the fascinating sharks: -There are about 350 different types of sharks, but researchers think there are other sharks that haven't been discovered yet! -The dwarf shark is as small as your hand, while the whale shark can be as large as a school bus! -A shark is one of the best hunters in the world. Even their little pups go out looking for food. -A shark's hunger can be satisfied with one good meal. The meal can last a long time because a shark uses little energy to swim. Some sharks hold food in their stomachs without it being digested. If they eat a big meal, it can last three or more months!
Lyrics to HERE WE GO!, our song about baby sea turtles
Category: Animal Songs- Ocean Published: Wednesday, August 05, 2009 When I first heard the story of how baby sea turtles spend the first days of their lives, I knew I wanted to write a song about them to add to my collection of animal songs for kids. I was fascinated by the fact that the first babies to hatch from their eggs would wait for the rest of their brothers and sisters to hatch before running to the sea. . . You can also watch a fun kids video of HERE WE GO! that includes photos of baby and adult sea turtles and performances by Birdsong and the Eco-Wonders in Ambergris Caye, Belize and in Orange County, California. Below are the lyrics to a song that continues to be one of my favorite ocean animal songs. Click here to learn more about tide pools and how I wrote The Tide Pool Song. And if you've been to the tide pools lately, please write to us and let us know what you saw. Perhaps you can even write your own verse to The Tide Pool Song.
How i began to write animal songs for kids
Category: Animal Songs- Ocean Published: Monday, July 13, 2009 People often ask me how I began to write animal songs for kids. My answer is always the same: It all began with The Tide Pool Song. . . . I am proud to say that The Tide Pool Song is used by the California State Parks and Orange County Parks as a teaching song for kids. I look forward to writing many more animal songs for kids. All it takes is an interesting animal or ecosystem to inspire me. And that happens all the time.
Have you ever seen a Kelp Forest dancing?
Category: Animal Songs- Ocean Published: Tuesday, June 30, 2009 Have you ever seen a forest dancing Like a kelp forest dances in the sea? Dancing to the rhythm of the ocean A fancy dancing forest of seaweed. Slow dancing, swaying to the rhythm Hold fast to the bottom, and reach for the sun. Slow kelp dancing, swaying to the rhythm Hold fast to the bottom, and reach for the sun. Well, kelp is a kind of seaweed That holds onto a rock on the ocean floor ...
Let me tell you 'bout my fascination with SHARKS!
Category: Animal Songs- Ocean Published: Tuesday, June 16, 2009 Let me tell you 'bout my fascination with a fish that has a bad reputation. Did you know that sharks have been around for about 400 million years? That's older than a dinosaur! The more I learned about sharks, the more it seemed like it was time to write a song about a fish whose reputation is far more fearsome than it's bite. . .
