Get ready to ROCK the HOUSE with RHYTHM and SOUL from Emmy-winning artist BOBBY NORFOLK! Kids discover the music of poetry through a rollicking multicultural tour of raps and traditional verse. Bobby turns traditional tales, such as “Little Red Riding Hood” or “The Three Billy’s Goat’s Gruff,” into finger-snapping, toe-tapping verse. He transforms selections from his favorite authors into comical and creative raps, and fills them all with zany vocal effects, lively animation, and tons of humor.
