Following in the footsteps of high-spirited and inexpensive collections of songs about the alphabet, counting and tables comes What’s the Time, Mr Wolf? Playing host throughout a dramatised narrative of a young child’s day, and backed by bells and metronomes, Mr Wolf introduces songs that feature hours and days, mealtimes and seasons, clocks and dreams. There re about a dozen catchy musical numbers interspersed with some terrible jokes. This is definitely not a cassette for grown-ups, but children can find solid mathematical information stored among its 40 minutes of insistent melodies and sound effects. What’s the Time, Mr Wolf? costs pound;2.50 from Early Learning Centre stores. Website: www.kidsmusic.co.uk
