Listen and learn with The Bonus Point Band. Ash Kizer brings together a full studio band to perform his original "study songs" for the edutainment of young and old alike. Dramatic sound effects and comical characters bring you into the mix as you go on a musical and educational adventure. Parents and teachers are ecstatic to finally have a compilation of music that they can enjoy with their kids.
Rock out to the upbeat tune of "The Low Down Noun Eater" as you run through the streets of a city, fleeing from the hideous monster that gobbles up everything in sight. Fill in the blanks as you help Kizer sing the lyrics he's forgotten in "I'm Trying to Remember This Song." Are you a country music fan? You'll love "Praise the Plants," a tribute to our greenest of friends. You can go back in time with "Ed," or study Greek mythology as you sing along to "Andromeda." By the time you're done listening to these tunes, Mensa will be clamoring for your membership.
As if the music wasn't enough, the songs come with printable handouts that are included on the compact disc in pdf format. Teachers who use these songs year after year say that the music helps motivate and the reinforcement provided by the handouts seals the deal.

Music is such a fun, easy way to remember! The "Bonus Point Band" songs are catchy and cool enough for older kids and even parents to sing along. (Not like Barney music!) I have been a fan for years and my kids know the songs- and lessons-by heart. I highly recommend this product.
