This follow up to Library Boogie has lots of favorites, including the dance song "Wiggle Worm." "Shake Shake Shake" is a science-friendly song about earthquakes and volcanos. "Have You Seen My Egg" is a funny song about shaker eggs. "Peace in Twelve Languages" is exactly what it sounds like, set to a gentle melody. 

From School Library Journal, Jan 2004 
Tom Knight has spent several years making music in the classroom with students, and his experience makes this title a worthy purchase. Using a variety of musical styles, Knight invites listeners to interact, either vocally or through dance and movement, in almost every song on this recording. The lyrics are affirming, empowering, and kid-friendly. His multi-lingual "Peace in Twelve Languages" is not only educational, it's thought-provoking. The calypso heat of "Everybody Makes Mistakes" blends with its lighthearted words, reminding children that "sometimes it happens, you mess up what you do, and then accidentally, you create something new." Knight provides the vocals, occasionally accompanied by a chorus of children or female harmony. Of the 15songs, most are curriculum related, including songs about an earthquake, water, and creating blues music. A solid purchase for classroom use as well as general listening.--Kirsten Martindale, Buford Academy, GA
