Titles You’ve Reviewed

Music: Sleepytime Lullabies
I rate this titleonand give itMuzak for toddlers, and that's not a bad thing.

Music: Pop Fly
I rate this titleonand give itPerfect soundtrack for family road trips.
Often compared to Fountains of Wayne and even Elvis Costello, Roberts is a true indie troubadour who sees kid's issues through a unique and offbeat -- maybe too offbeat -- slant. "Henrietta's Hair" ...

Music: African Dreamland
I rate this titleonand give itHappy songs the whole family will dig.
This CD is classic

Music: Music for a Green Planet
I rate this titleonand give itSaving the planet was never so much fun.
Each song mixes familiar and new ideas and is packed with a lot of information -- like how turbines work (water power) and what geothermal power is, all set to superb jazz beats. The Things we Throw ...

Music: Baby Loves Hip-Hop
I rate this titleonand give itKids will dig this tame (but far from lame) CD.
Generally, the album is upbeat and the music is catchy and has its own brand of hip-hop soul, courtesy of the many notable artists contributing (Chali Tuna, Prince Paul, Wordsworth). The story ...

Music: Vamos a Bailar/Let's Dance!
I rate this titleonand give itNot so "essential" box set from Nick explorer.

Music: The Wheels on the Bus
I rate this titleonand give itRock legend's fun take on kid's music.
If you can handle the repetition of it, then you might end up enjoying this CD right along with your kids. If you haven't seen the DVD, then the storyline won't be as obvious, but the music is fun ...

Music: Dragonfly Races
I rate this titleonand give itSocially-conscious folk music for kids.
This is an enjoyable album, but the sensibility is more adult than kid-focused. It's as if Ellis rolled up all the nostalgia parents have for their own distant childhoods and combined it with all the ...

Music: Born to Play
I rate this titleonand give itUpbeat, imaginative soundtrack to Nick TV series.
This CD is no amateur effort.

Music: I Wanna Play
I rate this titleonand give itGrammy winner delivers lessons with humor.
Though the tone is at times a bit earnest (especially in "At Your Library"), it is balanced out by the offbeat humor and gentle irony of the rest of the album.

Music: Very Derryberry
I rate this titleonand give itSugary sweet original pop songs are upbeat.
The tunes are upbeat, and Derryberry's style is ultra-positive -- with ebullient energy and a squeaky voice that make her sound like a really perky preshchool teacher. And in this case, it's not such ...

Music: Every Child Deserves a Lifetime
I rate this titleonand give itCharity CD has cute classics, but isn't that good.
The songs on Every Child Deserves a Lifetime are all retreads -- recorded for other albums and gathered together for this compilation -- and it shows. There's no continuity and the songs feel ...
