Album Notes

Here's what the reviewer's had to say about Joel Frankel's "I Can't Sit Still":

Billboard Magazine's Child's Play column praised "I Can't Sit Still" as "...one of the most delightful, original cassettes we have come across in recent times."

Publisher's Weekly opined, "...a winning combination of intelligent, plain lyrics and engaging music. In addition to guitar and keyboards, cat purrs, kazoo, spoons and fiddles augment the music. The quirkiness and simplicity of Frankel's songs make this an ideal listening experience."

My grandson loved the songs and we sing them together.
author: Ana Estka
This CD is so entertaining and the songs are really catchy! Each time I listened to the CD I found another song that I liked as a favorite. My grandson's favorites are "Charlie is a Spoon", "I just got a present", Catchy Catchy Cat and of course, King and Queen of the Sandbox. I like them all!
