    An Amazing CD for Kids and Parents!

    l LOVE this CD! Smart lyrics that are important for kids to hear (all about Green energy), inventive arrangements, jazzy w/ elements of World Music. A welcome change from the folk/rock that's plagued the market. The playing is great, the vocals delightful, the message compelling. You can listen to this CD over and over and never get tired of it! My current fave that my three kids love, too.
