FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) May 9, 2007 --

New York, NY (May 10, 2007)— On June 1-3, 2007, Playdate Kids Publishing will be featuring their new musical series at the 2007 BookExpo America (BEA) in New York City. The Playdate Kids and their Caketown friends come back this spring of 2007 to share three rockin’ sing-along adventures sure to put a giggle and a wiggle into every child. Playdate Kids Publishing booths stand out from the crowd, with colorful, high-energy activities and a movie set appearance. This year’s booth is a “must see” for all who attend. You can find Playdate Kids Publishing at Booth #707 in the children’s pavilion.

Each Playdate Kids musical book includes a CD, a simple dance routine and sheet music. Recently praised by parents, teachers and family therapists as amusing and effective life tools, The Playdate Kids musical series gives children the vocabulary and behaviors they need to learn about hygiene, manners and self-confidence—motivating while entertaining. The silly, nurturing and lively tales are universally relatable to young children’s issues such as:

• Self Esteem and Positive Self Image in The I Like Me Dance

• Personal Hygiene and Social Skills in Booger Boogie
• Potty Training and Privacy in Island Potty Party
The BookExpo America combines the most prevalent collection of English language books as well as offering exceptional industry and author events among educational material not found elsewhere. The goal is to offer an energetic atmosphere for networking for publishers, authors and book lovers.

Publisher, Tena Fanning says, “Last year at the BEA, we had a lively booth designed especially for little readers. This year, we are stepping it up. The feedback at the 2007 Los Angeles Times Book Festival was so positive, our author and music composer, Tim Friedlander, will be joining us at the BEA. He will be playing the music from our new musical book series right at the booth!”
