Synopses & Reviews
This original song celebrates the imagination within, and will deliver to children, friends and loved ones the joy of reading. The illustrations by Douglas Wright capture the warmth and spirit only a Christmas story like "The Roof Top Hop" can do. Watch children smile as they are entertained by this warm classic style picture book version of the lyrics, accompanied by a CD offering the title song, and a second original Christmas song by Michael Sheahan. "The Roof Top Hop" instructional dance DVD will entertain everyone as they learn the dance with Broadway's award winning Michael Balderrama dnd professional dance instructor Jennifer Parsinen. So many gifts in one luscious package. Fun for the entire family!
