    Clever, lively & smart counting music for all ages

    Such fun music! If you are tired of cliche educational lyrics, the approach that They Might Be Giants takes will be quite refreshing. These songs stick in your head in a good way. The tunes are great for the toddler set, but even older kids, maybe even up to teen-agers won't mind listening to the smart lyrics, catchy riffs. Check out They Might Be Giants' A, B, C CD as well as DVD. They also have had podcasts of much of this music.

    Fun fot Kids and adults

    I get a kick out of listening to this. I grew up with there music now they are catering to kids! Alot of there songs are on some disney CD's too. I listen to them with my 2 and a half year old. It's refreshing to see a group have a come back but even more surprising when they come back strong for a new generation of listeners! You go boys!
