Mixed-Up Morning Blues / BOOK & CD
by Mark Ross, illustrated by Nathan Mellott
Mixed-Up Morning Blues just received the silver medal in the prestigious 2011 IBPA Benjamin Franklin Awards during the Book Expo America in NYC!
Mixed-Up Morning Blues has been one of Mark’s most requested songs for the past thirteen years. Here it is served up by a righteous twelve-piece band with a ton of help from “his kids,” along with lively illustrations in an easy-to-follow book format. It’s an inspired project that beautifully brings together Mark’s extensive experience and passion as both a blues musician and an educator. According to Mark, you can teach kids almost anything with music, and they do “get” the blues.
“Bring Mark Ross, a guitar, and a group of young children together in a room, and you have magic. Mark’s ability to use his music to teach language, math, anatomy, movement – you name it – all the while handling a preschool crowd that can rival any late night blues club, is pure joy.” --Linda Duerr, Director, Child Development Lab, Penn State University
“When Mark comes to visit he’s a huge hit with our kids and teachers alike. Pure fun, that always leaves us wanting more! Mixed-Up Morning Blues is a great book and disc to add to your child’s library.” --Miss Janet Stay and Play Preschool, State College, PA
