From cassettes to compact discs to .mp3s and now interactive tablet apps one thing remains constant, the fun aspect of Rick Charette’s music is contagious.

BROOKLYN, NY, USA, November 17, 2014 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Rick Charette has been writing and performing for children for over 30 years. His first collection of songs, "Bubblegum" was published in 1983 and was followed in 1985 by "Alligator in the Elevator." The success of these early collections launched a full-time career of writing and performing for young audiences.

As a family man with three children of his own, early inspirations came from home and children in the neighborhood. From school classrooms, gyms and auditoriums, concert venues large and small, parks, fairgrounds, campgrounds (and even a parade float!) Rick shares his songs; songs that delight in the joys of childhood. From school-age children and preschoolers to grownups who first heard the songs when they were kids, his audiences are all inclusive where generations enjoy the music together.

Over the course of his career Rick has recorded 11 CDs, 3 DVDs and has also published two books. Next Spring coinciding with the 30th anniversary of "Alligator in the Elevator", Little Spaceship Productions is planning to launch an interactive iPad and Android app for preschoolers based on the song.

The "Alligator in the Elevator: Learn to Count" app will be the first in a series of learning apps based on Rick's music. Little Spaceship is currently raising money to produce the app on the crowdfunding website Kickstarter.com The campaign runs thru December 3rd. To participate, you can visit the site at the link below:

In addition to beta testing, other rewards for contributing to the campaign include mention in the game credits, t-shirts, tote bags, and stickers. Access to the production blog will give contributors an inside-look at every step at making the interactive app including integration of Rick’s music with character design, animation and interactive software development. Another special reward offered is a signed photo of Rick Charette – which could make a nice gift for a child who has seen the singer/songwriter perform.

Little Spaceship Productions (www.littlespaceshipproductions.com) produces entertaining multi-platform interactive software apps, and video content for preschoolers and parents that encourage imagination and exploration both on and beyond the screen to help foster a thirst for knowledge and a love for learning.
