REVIEWS
“Reading Rocks!” is a musical CD for children that embraces the written stories and poetry of Johnette Downing and sets them to her music. A beautiful blend of music and a beautiful touch that every child and parent will love.”
-Gold Family Review Center Award
Little book lovers are celebrated in Johnette Downing’s Reading Rocks! The high-energy title track has some Louisiana twang. - Parents Magazine, January 2013 edition
Award-winning New Orleans singer, songwriter, and children’s book author Johnette Downing presents Reading Rocks!, a CD ideal for young people ages 2-8. Reading Rocks! combines spoken words with songs to encourage a love of books and reading in young people. An upbeat blend of storytelling and toe-tapping fun, Reading Rocks! is a great supplement to encourage love of reading in young ones - although Johnette Downing herself emphasizes that the very best way to raise the next generation of readers is, naturally, to read to them! Highly recommended, especially for school and public library children’s music collections, and also as a gift for inquisitive young relatives. - Midwest Book Review, Children’s Book Watch, Vol 22, #11, November 2012.
