 June
9, 2010 -- "Hey kids, do you want to go on a Jungle
Walk"?? So goes the opening line of one of award-winning
children's musician JAKE DIFFER's most popular songs. This
summer, hundreds of children and their families will be
"jungle-walking" at libraries across Ontario as
Music By Jake presents "Take a Jungle Walk with Jake",
as part of the TD Summer Reading Club's "Destination
Jungle" program.
Jake will perform 18 "Take a Jungle Walk with Jake"
shows in 15 cities including London, Toronto, Kingston,
Welland, Sudbury and Niagara-on-the-Lake. The show offers
music, story-telling, and many humorous and colourful characters.
As always at a Jake show, there will be plenty of opportunity
for the children to join in the music-making with singing,
clapping, dancing and rhythm-makers. Download
