THE LEVIN FAMILY

Ah, Autumn! What a great time of the year to be alive. We have been
apple & pumpkin picking twice. Enjoyed walks in the cool crisp autumn air with
all the bright colors of fall leaves. Had a train ride in Allaire State Park.
We've had a wonderful Halloween. There was a local costume party & a breezy
beach bonfire where Yosi got to DJ, & local story tellers spooked the young
ones. The Levin kids made plenty of trick or treating stops. Hannah was a
"nerd," Matt & Nik were Ninjas & Jonathan was a pumpkin. We're still munching
on
candy & trying to give it away. Want some? We can't even look at that sweet
stuff anymore.

We are just delighted at our family vacation. This month we're off to
Disney!!! Woo hoo!! We just can't wait to enjoy the sights, sounds & thrills.
This will be the first time for Matt, Nik & Jon. Hannah was there at 2 years
old, but doesn't recall it. Good thing we had a video.

RECENT PRESS

There's been some great press recently in praise of Yosi & the UMBRELLA
CD.

Here's a few quotes:

"Yosi is the prince of Pre-K, the poet laureate of the potty-training set,
bigger than Barney and hipper than Hillary Duff." —Jim Testa, HushNJ, Column:
Constant Listener, October/November 2004
"An elegant eclectic collection for all of us who seek the big bright
umbrella of life." -John Wood, 2004 NAPPA Awards
"Great vocals, competent instrumentals, and an enthusiastic children’s
chorus make these toe-tapping songs appealing. A solid addition for all
libraries." –Beverly Bixler, School Library Journal, October, 2004
"A treasure meant to be shared and enjoyed." - Midwest Book Review, Oct.
2004
"What you will find in Yosi's music is genuine kindness toward children. His
songs are playful without being babyish and his voice lends itself
beautifully to each style he sings." -Charlotte Rose Giza, Baltimore's
Child, Oct. 2004
