A great variety of musical styles. Ranges from funny to sweet, and has a really good ebb and flow of observational points that any kid or adult can really appreciate. The humor is geared in the 5-10 range, but everything is perfectly safe and appropriate for the ears of a toddler or preschooler. Great album for the whole family... Road trip!

Families Can Talk About
Everyone knows there is a lot of music and media out there that isn't appropriate for kids. What about the good stuff? How can you teach yourself and your kids about appropriate media for their age?
- From Lisa Loeb to They Might be Giants, it seems there has been an influx of children's pop music over the last few years. Why do you think that is? Do you think there is a need for children, even young ones, to have a musical outlet of their own that doesn't require a big, purple dinosaur or dancing puppets?
- This artist has a popular song that became a YouTube sensation. How do you feel about the presence of YouTube and the ease with which it enables individuals to be exploited or thrown into the public eye?
