Kate Winslet Sings for Children  4/24/06

Movie star Kate Winslet has contributed some singing to a children's audio book for American writer Sandra Boynton.

The Finding Neverland actress sings a tune called I Need a Nap in Boynton's Dog Train, which is intended to be a spoof of a Disney love song.

Boynton says, "I knew Kate could sing, because, if you listen carefully, she does a bit on Sense and Sensibility.

"Anyway, she's a friend of a friend and agreed to help with Dog Train if we could do the recording in a studio in the country, where she could bring her kids.

"I called it a parody, but Kate's husband (Sam Mendes) insisted that it's actually a pastiche."
