Music and entertainment critics agree that “Red Grammer is one of the best voices singing for children today.” Red joins us in this issue to share four terrific original tunes! In addition to Red Grammer, this issue features a wonderful series of five baseball poems from a  new collection by Gene Fehler. These poems perfectly capture the atmosphere of the game for small players — from the power of being a pitcher; to nervous, superstitious rituals before swinging the bat; to silly ballpark humor. Other audio delights on this Shoofly issue include a singing crocodile, a leaky hose, an altruistic fir tree, and a magical Native American dreamcatcher.

Shoofly is proud to feature a selection of music from internationally renowned singer and songwriter, Red Grammer. Winning award after award for music with richly innovative lyrics and strong musical expression, Red and his wife, Kathy Grammer, write music for families. Red has recorded six albums as a solo artist and tours extensively, performing family concerts, meeting with educators and sharing his love of music with school children throughout America. With many national television appearances to his credit, Red has starred in his own Disney Channel Concert Special, been a featured guest of Eureka's Castle on Nickelodeon and parenting segments on NBC's Today Show.

Music critics have said that Red "is one of the best voices singing for children today"; "Red Grammer is wonderful..... a natural"; a "vocal powerhouse"; and "one of the greatest family performers ever." All hard won praise for an abundantly talented musician who has chosen to create music which supports children and empowers parents. 

The songs featured in this issue of Shoofly are from Red Grammer's music collection: Can You Sound Just Like Me? Teaching Peace, Down the Do Re Mi, Red Grammer's Favorite Sing Along Songs, and Hello World!
