Goodbye, CDs! Hello, digital!

Barefoot Books will gradually replace the CDs in our singalongs with QR codes for online access to music and animation. This will be a month-by-month rollout with new versions available to purchase now!

Singalongs are great for kids who are getting ready for kindergarten or learning how to build listening skills and follow directions. They also develop gross motor skills by moving along to the music. Our singalongs include rhyming lyrics, catchy music and fun animations that will keep children engaged and interested in the story.

Why are we making the switch from CDs to QR codes?

As part of our efforts to become a greener company, we want to do our part to contribute to a sustainable future.

For years, CDs were the only technology available to provide parents with engaging singalongs to go along with our books. Now with the ever-changing digital world, QR codes give us the same opportunity but with less waste.

Producing CDs is harmful for the environment and they’re not recyclable. QR codes have no negative effects on the environment, and they never need to be thrown out because of scratches from little fingers. They’re more convenient for the digital world, and you don’t need access to a CD player to enjoy!

It’s the same product, value and price, just with less packaging and waste!

Here are some of our bestselling singalongs that will come to your stores soon with QR codes:
