Why We Rated This on for Ages 4 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Feel-good songs should inspire kids to think positively. “If we build a world of happiness, and make this place it’s very best…everyone would be so impressed, we’re gonna do it one smile at a time.” "In the Details" reminds kids to notice the little things, "Just Ask" inspires initiative and Debbie Harry advises on both "Don’tcha Wanna Know" and T"he Patience Bossa" that opportunities for learning are around every turn.

    I rate this title on for age 2 and give it 5.0

    This CD is great for kids and parents, especially in the car.

    We listen to this CD all the time in the car. My 3 and 5 year old love the characters and voices in the music. They sing along with the songs. It's fun! Go to www.mommajam.com for more information about the creator of this CD and Kidzapalooza.
