  • About the Album

    Shining a spotlight on wildlife conservation and climate awareness, this album contains 25 original tunes. It celebrates our planet and a diverse range of the fascinating animals that inhabit the trees, the plains, the mountains and the rivers, the coastlines and even the ice floes alongside us humans.

    The biodiversity crisis is referenced in the heartfelt song Rainbow World, and the tragedy of extinctions is catalogued in the song Feathers and Bones (Extinction Elegy). This tune offers an emotive call to remember creatures long disappeared from her homeland of Aotearoa New Zealand - huia, moa, Haast's eagle and the greyling.

    Fellow land of the long white cloud inhabitants that feature in other songs include the myriad critters of 'Don't be Scared of Bugs', little blue penguins (kororā) in The Little Blue Sushi Shop Penguins (another true story), disco number Tara Tuatara and the delights of kiwi hatchlings in Animal Families.

    Guest vocalists include Claudia's mother Deni Gunn who lends her harmonies to the fun and quirky songs Loopy the Inchworm and Roly Poly Polar Bear.

    The incredible monotremes of Australia get a shout out in the sweet lullaby with Angie Who 'Echidna Lullaby', and in 'We Are The Platypus'.

    Have a boogie with zoo animals, including actions in Te Reo Māori, in the Zoo Hullabaloo featuring Loopy Tunes Preschool Music and send a love letter to your best friend in Lovebirds Love featuring Itty Bitty Beats.
