Listeners of all ages will find themselves delighted, time and again, by story-like songs in which cleverness and silliness abound. So amusing and well-crafted are the lyrics that just reading them (full color booklet with chords and lyrics included) is a treat. From the first song to the last, Life on a Trampoline represents children’s entertainment at its finest, good clean fun that inspires laughter, movement and unbridled playfulness.
