What Parents Need to Know

About Music Makes Me Happy

Parents need to know that most of these positive songs emphasize the importance of being happy. Some of the songs are a bit long -- one clocks in at almost 6 minutes -- but kids won't get bored with these upbeat tunes (except for the repetitive beats and simple melody of "Music is My Friend"). Themes range from the silly ("Eating Some Pizza") to history ("John Henry") to peace ("The Peace Song").

    I rate this title on for age 8 and give it 5.0

    Nice music for my older ears

    I find this CD very pleasant to listen to. Robbi K has been to my school and is very informative as well as entertaining to watch. My class of 4th graders really enjoy this CD, as do my fellow teachers. Kudos for another well rounded musical offering.
