Another YouTube discovery: The Piano Guys, a music duo consisting of Pianist Jon Schmidt and Cellist Steven Sharp Nelson, began by posting video renditions/mashes of popular music. They released their first album, 'Hits, Vol. 1' in December 2011.
It was extremely hard to narrow down the videos featured here. Check out the YouTube site for much more!

Iggy Peck
Grace's current favorite book is Iggy Peck, Architect by Andrea Beaty with illustrations by David Roberts. The book chronicles the saga of young Iggy Peck, who first showed signs of architectural brilliance at age two. Clever rhymes and brilliant illustrations set this book apart. Grace told me during last night's reading session that she wished she could watch Iggy Peck on TV. She also told her preschool class all about it.
