Background music for animated children's book

I'd like a 3 min or longer background instrumental song to go along with an animated children's book about butterflies.

I made these bright, cute butterfly characters and would like the music to create a bright, happy, light-hearted mood.

I like piano a lot, and I also like 1920's music like this song: http://www.pcdon.com/-april_showers.mid (found at http://www.pcdon.com/midiswingera.html)

I'm not as interested in guitar rock, ambient music, or electronica. I'd like it to be parent-friendly if possible, not something that will drive parents crazy if they hear it too much.

The song should be loopable. It will be playing in the background the whole time, at a lower volume than the foreground sound clips.

I will be putting other sounds in the foreground, like a voice reading the text and various cute noises that the characters make (voice & sounds not part of this project, just background music).

Live bass, live playing piano,. Minimal arrangement not to disturb the narrator and to give place to future sound FX.

Here is a sample of a piano loop I think would work well.

Here's a light, colourful tune in 20's style with a modern twist. It will of course loop.
All the best, Chez

Hi, here's a loopable track in the 'cool jazz' style, with a couple of unconventional melodic instruments.

Hi, I wrote this for you! I heard your demo, and I composed this swing-like piece for piano solo. It plays in 3' 30'' and is fully loopeable

This is an instrumental that I believe is quite child friendly and soothing. If selected, I will provide a high bit rate version.

This light hearted and airy track has piano and other instruments, creating a nature-like feeling. Its story telling capability is great.

I would like to try my hands on it. What age is targeted ?
There is a difference (in my opinion) between 6 years old and, let's say 10 years old.

I decided joining as well. Do you prefer a piece which is made only with piano?
I guess so... Am I right?

Sounds like a cool project. My submission can easily be lengthened to 3 min or more if desired. -Scot

Making music for children is indeed a beautiful task.
Please note that I could easily change both the tempo and the length of the loop.
Thanks

I might play around with some ideas for this project. Good luck everyone, there's some great submissions already. I'm loving soundroll (18), think you've really fulfilled the brief there mate.
All the best guys

This goes slow. Here's my solution:
approximative 50 tracks/ 100$ = give 2$ to every participant
