What Parents Need to Know
About Kidzapalooza
Parents need to know that this is an album full of family-friendly tunes, with songs that should appeal to various age groups, including adults. Lots of the songs teach life lessons through hip hop, punk, and jazz tracks, so little ears will also get schooled in the world of musical styles. (But be warned, this CD features several songs that also appear on A World of Happiness, so owners of that equally kid-appropriate album might want to pass on this round.)

Families Can Talk About
- Does listening to a happy song put you in a good mood? How does the music you listen to affect your moods and outlook on life? Read "Less Aggressive Media Results in Less Aggressive Kids" and think about ways to improve your child's media diet.
- Families can talk about different childhood experiences. The song "Back in the Day" discusses singer/songwriter Zach Gill's memories of being a kid. Moms and dads, compare with your kids what being a kid was all about. What games did you play, what toys did you want and what clothes did you where. Kids, do you think that much has changed since your parents were young?
- "In the Details" might inspire listeners to take a look at the small stuff in their world. Can you name some little things you might find in a garden, on the beach, or even in a kitchen?
