I must be the only person who cannot stand this show. Even my 2 1/2 year-old asked, "When does something happen?" I found the songs boring and annoying. The stories went nowhere.

What Parents Need to Know
About Born to Play
Parents need to know that there's nothing really objectionable about this album except the smart-alecky sound of the vocals. Most of the songs celebrate imagination and fun adventures. Some talk about "being evil," which sounds odd on a kid's album, but it's done in a tongue-in-cheek manner.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how unstructured playtime (and a healthy dose of imagination) can transport us to fantastic places. Put a sleeping bag and a flashlight in the basement and presto: scary story time! Can you think of something fun to do that you don't get to do every day?

Wow
Don't listen to that other kid. Do you honestly think that a CD with the name "The Backyardigans" would have a lot of bad words? The kid's just pulling a dumb prank. Anyway, I haven't head this CD but I'm just trying to fix the prank.
