Wee Sing in the Car - Part of the Wee sing series

I have really enjoyed listening to theWee sing series with my son over the years!  One, the Wee Sing in the car, includes a 64 page book and one hour CD.  The Wee Sing in the Car is fun for a car trip!  It includes sing along songs, tricky tongue twisters, and travel games.
