ENOUGH ALREADY!
The award-winning animated musical, “Enough Already!”, is available on DVD — NOW WITH TEACHING LESSONS ABOUT GRATITUDE DEVELOPED FOR THE YOUNGEST CHILDREN. Named a CHILD Magazine “Best of the Year” selection, and endorsed by the Coalition for Quality Children’s Media, “Enough Already!” features lively original songs, inspired by traditional Klezmer music. “Enough Already!” tells the timeless tale of a poor farmer who, on the advice of the town Rebbe, brings one animal after another into an already over- crowded house. The result is a hilarious and clever lesson in being grateful for what we have.
