Great news! Mary's first book, TABITHA MARION EVELYN (Tabby Toodles) - A Book of Opposites, has received a 2017 Tillywig Parents' Favourite Product Award.

REVIEW from TILLYWIG Toy and Media Awards - Book

This charming book delights readers with its exuberant illustrations, engagingly playful storyline and, most of all, with its loving depiction of the title character, a sweet, headstrong child named Tabitha Marion Evelyn. The writing is top-notch, with deeply satisfying rhymes and a natural-feeling rhythmic flow that effortlessly carries readers forward and keeps them wanting more. The exceptionally playful language follows a songlike ABABA form in which the A sections describe various aspects of Tabitha Marion Evelyn's personality and physical traits, while the B sections get maximum mileage (smileage, really) out of the interplay between opposites: black/white, day/night, yes/no, stop/go, and so on. As playful and humorous as these visual and verbal elements are, they also movingly express a mother's love and appreciation for her daughter and the mutually adoring bond they share, making this a joyful read for parents and children alike.

REVIEW from TILLYWIG Toy and Media Awards - CD

www.tillywig.com
There is a whole lot of fun to be had listening to this captivating collection of music for the entire family. Liveliness and humor are chief among the array of winning ingredients that get kids and parents up on their feet, dancing and singing. Familiar favorites and equally engaging original material (written by Mary Lambert) reveal an unusually high level of musicianship as the band moves fluidly through genres that include blues, rock & roll, swing, and some absolutely electrifying bluegrass. There is a freshness to the arrangements and performances that makes even classic family songs sound new. 'I've Been Working on the Railroad,' with its dramatic train-chug opening, gorgeous vocal harmonies and alternating tempos is a particularly standout arrangement. There is over 50 minutes of music in all, 16 adventure-filled songs that amply demonstrate Mary and the band's ability to put ear-to-ear grins on listener's faces.

 

REVIEW from PARENTS' CHOICE Awards

www.parents-choice.org

"Canadian singer/songwriter/entertainer Mary Lambert serves up 16 songs to get kids dancing, moving and wiggling.  Employing a plethora of musical styles, Lambert begins with the mid-tempo jazzy jive of "Singin' Along", followed by the horn-laden 50's style rock of "Just Dance", and country hoedown in the silly "Grandpa's Whiskers".  Sheb Wooley's classic 1958 novelty song "The Purple People Eater", a funky rendition of "I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly", and a bluegrass take on "She'll Be Comin' 'Round the Mountain" add to the mix.  Lambert's many original songs her lightly rocking ode to haberdashery "Wearing a Hat is Where it's At", the mock monster movie anti-mosquito music of "Mozzie Mash", and the encouraging "This is Really Hard to Do".  She is aided by some excellent musicians throughout, including notably Dave Barton's expressive guitars, mandolin and horn arrangements.  This is a light and fun album for younger children and their parents to listen to while they boogie around the house."
