Hands up, who loves Justin?

Justin Fletcher, the name alone brings smiles to every child's and properly many a mothers face too, if you have not heard of this man you either don't have a child or don't own a TV, he is practically a god when it comes to the world of children's TV.

His always happy manner, smiling face and love for what he does, makes children everywhere fall in love with his TV programs and adore him, weather it be as himself or his alter ego 'mr tumble'. His work with special needs children is amazing, he uses a type of sign language called 'makaton' which not only involves all children but learns children of all ages too.

Well brilliant news for all the Mommy's and daddy's out there, by popular demand Justin now has a album of classic songs that not only you can sing along to but you would be hard pushed to not tap a foot to this happy jolly album, if your like me and my little dude you will be up, singing and dancing with your TV favourite singing brilliant happy songs.



I decided, to put this album to the ultimate test I would take it to my sisters house for our usual Sunday afternoon get together, there wasn't much convincing for my sister to put the Justin album on, she is, to put it mildly a huge fan. Not only because my niece has loved Justin since 1st seeing him on cbeebies but my sister admires his work with the special needs children, as she herself is a special needs teacher and understands the bond that he has with the children and how passionate he is about his work.

With in second of track one starting 'hands up' there was dancing and huge smiles, this is Justin's own title track for the album, and has the usual up beat Justin fun theme to it. Evie picked up the lyrics pretty quickly and Harry was happy to hear Justin's voice singing so he could dance around to his hearts content, my sister and her hubby had got there feet tapping and big smiles on there faces.
Hands up could easily be a dance track for adults, the beat is really good and catchy words

Onto track 2
The hokey cokey, I held Harry's hands and we danced and I sang loudly like an embarrassing mommy! Harry was all smiles.

Track 3
The musical man, when my nearly 60yr old mom was told it was the music man next, 'oh I love that one' showing this albums not just for the kids! with all the actions you can do, this ones a great get up song.

 









Other highlights were
Number 7 heads shoulders knees and toes (great for everyone)

Number 14 wheels on the bus (a great one for a sing along in the car)

And number 20 Justin's lullaby, a calm soothing lullaby that's very cute.
Over all this album is a must have for any fan old or young, and anyone who likes a good sing along and boogie, would also be great for a kids birthday party definitely guaranteed to get everyone old or young boogieing on down to Justin.

Justins album can be purchased online at amazon

So, hands up, who loves Justin? Because I no I do :)

Love Lucy

* I was sent this album to review but all thoughts and opinions are my own.
