'A Soaring Start for Little Minds™' Through Imagination and Creativity
Soaring Star Productions Announces CD Release "Pocket Snails® Letter Adventure & Other Snaily Songs," Based on one of the Most Honored Children's Videos of 2004
(PRWEB) March 15, 2005--- Soaring Star Productions, LLC, announced today the
launch of their new music CD, "Pocket Snails Letter Adventure & Other Snaily
Songs." The new CD, based on the multi-award winning "Pocket Snails Letter
Adventure" video, features eleven peppy, original songs as well as a lyric book
so young listeners may sing along with their tiny new friends again and again.
Among the tracks are those included on the newly released DVD, and some extra
tunes -- "We Love the Vowels," "Upper Case, Lower Case," and "I Love the Pocket
Snails." Audio bloopers make for a laugh-out-loud ending to a delightful CD.
"The CD's songs are designed to appeal to little ears with bouncy, happy
music and positive themes that are sung and presented by three loveable snails,
Gordon, Dale and Buttons; the stars of the Pocket Snails series," said Kate
Beale, producer of the videos. "We're proud to release this CD that offers a fun
selection of educational songs featuring the Pocket Snails' own distinctive
style."
In support of their multimedia release, Soaring Star is running a
nationwide "Super Snaily Sweepstakes." "Parents have an opportunity to win
several prizes in our sweepstakes, designed to introduce their little ones to
our delightful Pocket Snails' multimedia series," added Kate
Beale.
The sweepstakes' grand prize is a Sony DVD
Player, a "Pocket Snails Letter Adventure" DVD and "Pocket Snails Letter
Adventures & Other Snaily Songs" CD. No purchase is necessary to enter. The
sweepstakes runs until May 15, 2005. Entrants need to be 18 or older. View
complete contest rules and the entry form at www.pocketsnails.com/sweepstakes.html.
In "Pocket
Snails Letter Adventure," the video that inspired the CD, young viewers meet the
Pocket Snails, a trio of playful characters designed to encourage children's
imagination. The pocket in the series belongs to young Jake, a boy learning
about the world around him with the help of the snails that live in…that's
right…his pocket! Together, they embark on magical adventures in learning,
engaging young viewers with humorous storylines; toe-tapping music and
sing-along songs; and colorful visuals--creating "a soaring start for little
minds™."
Garnering 11 national awards, "Letter Adventure" is now
available on a newly released DVD version, which includes bonus interactive
activities, letter games, a music player featuring the Pocket Snails theme song
and other fun songs from the program, and "Meet the Snails." Future titles in
the Pocket Snails series will be released later in the year and include Phonics,
Shapes & Colors and Numbers.
