There is one man who is the king of children's television: Justin Fletcher is a genius.
I truly believe that every new parent should be given a voucher for an hour's entertainment, courtesy of Mr. Fletcher, upon the birth of each child. Just one hour to be used at a time that could be absolutely vital for the wellbeing of everyone in the house. Every television programme he creates is magical, and now he's turned his voice to a music CD, he's onto another winner!
I'll admit to being sceptical when I heard he'd released the album 'Hands Up!' All too accustomed to his singing on various programmes, I wasn't sure if away from the visual that the concept would work. The Boy had other ideas and proved me wrong.
Taking a step away from the traditional lullaby quality of most children's melodies, Justin has combined the lyrics to the classic songs with more modern and up tempo tunes. They certainly get your feet tapping, shoulders shaking and arms waving!
Have a listen to some of the title track while watching The Boy show his groovy moves and accompanying the musicians:
Since listening to this album pretty much non-stop since it came into the house, I can frequently be heard humming it on the playground in school. The five year olds don't mind, but I'm getting some funny looks from top juniors!
You can purchase 'Hands Up!' here on Amazon.

I had not heard of this CD but this household does love Justin! I am very looking forward to hearing it!! Think it might be useful for a long car journey!
I love Justin Fletcher because he is a wonderful entertainer for all children and I love that he does such good work with children with disabilities too!
We absolutely LOVE Justin in this house because to kids he is funny and silly but to adults he teaches so much. We have learnt Makaton via Justin and Luke copies him all the time. Justin's House, Mr Tumble, Something Special, Gigglebiz… we absolutely love them all and could watch for hours which is why we requested some Mr Tumble DVD's for his forthcoming birthday!

I heard a lot about this CD and am dying to own it! I love Justin's programmes and think he is very funny.
I LOVE Justin! He is amazing! As soon as my 2 boys heard the advert for this on tv yesterday they were jumping up and down dancing and asking if they can have it lol!
My daughter loves Justin! Mr Tumble and something special are her faves!
Justin is an absolute genius in childrens entertainment.My 3 year old has daughter been transfixed by this entertainer for more or less 2 years.I love the way he keeps reiventing himself with different shows,at the moment my daughter is jumping up and down and singing with Justin's House 2 inch from the tv.
I love him because my grandchildren do
we all love justin in our house because he is so funny and really fantastic with children
Because he's totally mad and makes the children laugh
he is such a good entertainer, funny and cheery, the kids love him!
O love him as my little boy loves him!!! he's very exciting for the little ones and i love seeing my toddler beaming 😀
We absolutely love Justin in my house…he keeps children thoroughly entertained and his signing is exceptionally easy for young children too follow. We have his nursery rhymes cd in the car and as soon as we get in Justin has to be put on..although every song is known off by heart. We also record all of the Somethings special and Justins house..when a tantrum starts we just put these on and peace is restored!!!!
I'd not heard of him but sounds like this would be a great one for the grandchildren!
Bud is only recently starting to take an interest in TV but Justin always makes him smile.
My daughter loves him, he makes her laugh. Justins house is her favourite programme and she dances around
He's so much fun and I love that he shows the no matter if children have a disability or not, they are still the same 🙂
@caro_mad
we love Justin as my two are entranced by him, they also love their autographed picture they have!
Both my children love Justin, but my 3 year old is currently undergoing speech thearpy, and i have noticed how he stands and copies Justin doing sign language, he now has made his own up (puts his hand on his head, opens and closes it while twisting his head = any vehicle with a flashing light rescue vehicles) but understanding him is so much easier and he doesn't get so frustrated anymore. xx
@mattalex2008
as he makes my grandson fall about laugthing
He's funny
He's fun and quite good looker
me, hubby and our 4 kids love justin, hes funny, kind and caring and such great fun to watch
Because he keeps JW (and OH!) entertained! x
We love Justin. The kids think he's great.
Justin seems an all round good guy and my granddaughter loves him, as Mr Tumble or as plain old Justin, I do too x
My kids love Mr Tumble, so this would be great
We love Justin for all the work he does, Something special has helped my daughter communicate with another girl they go to nursery with, and Justins house is just so funny
He manages to combine fun with more serious aspects, like signing and chidren with special needs. all 3 of my kids adore him, and even my husband had used signing picked up from his programs.
Finally disabled kids get some great TV – I love him cause he really helped my kids learning signing
i love justin my boy dances round the room when justins house comes on the tv!
My 18 month old daughter absolutely LOVES Justin (I am now sitting here singing Justins house as i am trying to type this) she watches him and enjoys copying his signing, and often calls for 'MR Tuuuuuummmble' when the TV isn't on. We would love to win his new CD!
I love his energy and creativity – the fact he can manage to capture the littlens so quickly. Its amazing!
Noah really loves watching his TV programs, sometimes he will just stand there and stare at the TV in his own little world. Hoping one day he is going to start bopping along to the music and following the actions too! 🙂
Hes not afraid to go the full hog to entertain our kids. Also unlike many other childrens entertainers, he seems to genuinely enjoy what hes doing and not just trying to get his foot in the door to bigger and better tv jobs
We love justin as he really engages children's imaginations & teaches them about everyday situations
I love Justin because he has given me some great ideas to help improve my daughters speech. He's a genuinely talented presenter with a knack for engaging children and now my 18mth old boy is also enthralled when he watched him 🙂
So much fun and keeps kids happy for ages.
would love to win this for my grandson
We love Justin because his programs keep my daughter really entertained but she is learning loads too. She picked up lots of signs watching Mr Tumble and it was brilliant when she first started talking – we understood her much more quickly when she signed and spoke at the same time. Now she is teaching her little sister the signs – it's so cute.
I love Justin Fletcher as he educates children as well as entertaining them.
My son is a huge fan, it is amazing how he keeps the kids entertained
My twins LOVE Jusin! They now see the CD advertised and have listened to their brother and say 'I would like it for my birthday' which is in 6 weeks!!
My daughter loves Justin Fletcher's programmes
I havent heard of him, but he sounds good
Infectious! The children love him.
He is so good with getting the kids attention, plus his sign language help my child communicate when he was 2 as he had speech problems and we had to learn sign language to help him, so he learnt every day new words x
This has made me giggle, on sunday my 16yr daughter asked me to buy her the CD as she thinks it's cool xxx
