This CD is great and parents can enjoy it too! I think my son and I have listened to this CD 100 times already and I look forward to listening to it 100 more times. My son (nine months) gets a huge smile on his face and starts dancing when he hears the first chord!

Not just for the kiddies...
author: Darryl Gregory
I have always had a "problem" with the term "Children's Music". To me ALL music is trans-generational and to pidgeon-hole music into a category that so many of us will not hear (because we may or may not have kids or are just turned off by the Barney syndrome) is not a good thing.
Fran and Cole's new CD is not just a recording of songs for children it is more a vehicle for sharing melodies and lyrics with your children. The songs appeal to everyone. I was laughing and singing along while driving and my son Tain giggled when I sang to him along with Ms Francine. The performances and the orchestrations are very fun and lend themselves to movement and singing (and they are not dumbed down to what many -kids- songwriters think is the level of musical comprehension is of a child).
My favorites are Bouncey Seat and Bagel Man; very funny, very singable. I'm looking forward to Tain singing along with me in the months and years to come. Good job guys!!!

I'd say this & They Might Be Giant's "NO!" are the 2 best "children's albums"out
author: Kevin Orton
Fancine Wheeler is one of my favorite singers. And that's saying a lot being a fan of Nina Simone, Billy Holliday & Emmy Lou Harris. How many parents want to listen to Elmo sing for 45 minutes in the car? That's the great thing bout this album. It won't dive you crazy. Along with fun, bouncy originals like "Bagel Man" , Francine does a remarkable version of "All The Pretty Horses". I'd say this & They Might Be Giant's "NO!" are the 2 best "children's albums"out there.
