A Rainbow of Sounds

Kids are encouraged to color their world via the Crayola Music Box, a package that combines two CDs filled with 50 favorite children's songs, an eight-pack of Crayola crayons and a small coloring book. Madacy Kids, a Toronto-based producer of children's entertainment products, has licensed the Crayola brand name from Binney & Smith to use alongside its collections of tunes that are performed by a group of children known as the Countdown Kids. This first title in an ambitious product-line launch includes snappy versions of such classics as "The Farmer in the Dell" and "The Wheels on the Bus." Four more titles, including Animal Favorites, are due in July, followed by two holiday compilations planned for August. (Madacy Kids [800-784-0991], $9.98, ages 2-6, May).

Max Lucado on DVD

Both DVD titles feature animation from the previously released VHS versions of the tales combined with a read-along story, sing-along songs, vocabulary and games with options for viewing in both English and Spanish. (Creative Trust Workshop, dist. by Provident Music Group, each $14.98, ages 4-up, Apr.)
