Moey's Music Party throws a preschooler bash

Melissa Levis, the Moey of Moey's Music Party, communicates to toddlers the way I wish I could, especially when they are getting on my nerves. Rather than tensely demand, "Share your toys!" this off-Broadway songwriter sings a bouncy song about sharing. Instead of shouting, "How many times do I have to tell you to sit when you eat?" she cheerfully reminds kids to slow down at mealtime, all with a sense of humor and a smile in her voice.

 I will assure you that the songs aren't preachy or annoying at all, especially the girl-power anthem, Little Red Riding Hood. I have never seen Melissa perform in New York City where she holds regular concerts for kids in Central Park and New York Public Library branches, but I bet the kids have a blast dancing to her band's beats and catchy lyrics.

Songs like I'm a New York City Kid will be a sure hit even for those children who live far off in another direction. "What's a Doorman?" my suburban preschooler asked. -Christina
