Hopping Around from Place to Place, Vol. 1

Ella Jenkins’ 1983 album Hopping Around from Place to Place, Vol. 1, originally released by Educational Activities, was recorded with the Chicago Children’s Choir during a 1983 Summer Workshop. Across eleven tracks, Ella hops around from continent to continent, covering seven languages along the way. She takes a journey from Cairo, Egypt, to Cairo, Illinois, and teaches young listeners that although the world is diverse, we are united in unexpected ways. Hopping Around from Place to Place, Vol. 1 excels in particular at teaching young folks the nuances in accents and dialects and the importance of recognizing and respecting differences. Recommended for ages 3–12.
