    Likeable

    My 2 year old loves this CD. Whenever we get into the van she exclaims, "Hold on tight" (one of the tracks). This does gt annoying after awhile, but I'm thanking God she doesn't like Barney!

    Not bad even for parents

    Of all the Children's cds we have in the car - and we have a lot - the two Backyardigans cds and the Sesame Street ones are the least grating on me. And my preschooler knows the different styles of music thanks to the Backyardigans - we can be listening to any music - kids or adults - and she'll ask, "Mommy, is that a song like in the Race to the Tower of Power?" Yup, sure is.
