Our Thoughts
We love Recess Monkey! We fell in love with this amazing trio after their last album and were so excited for this release. I think that I love that I can share my love for the sounds of rock/pop music with my kids and the songs are totally family friendly and fun! We are very into music in our family and we love to have something we can all enjoy. My classroom also enjoyed listening to this new album. With songs like “Time to Make the Donuts” you can’t go wrong!! Take a look at their brand new video below:
