Catchy tunes, actually tolerable for adults, even after 50 times
author: Mike Buebel, Pittsburgh
My 3 kids (ages 17 mos to 5 yo) love this. We have listened to it over 50 times in the car so far. It still doesn't bother me like so many other ones do.

Can't leave home without it!
author: Bill Maruca, Father, Musician And Lawyer
My nearly two-year-old daughter absolutely loves this CD, and demands it every time we get in the car. Her favorites are "Buzz Buzz Buzz" (which she calls "The Animal Song"), "Dolphins Dancing," "Teeny Tiny Turtle," and "Little Lullaby." The originals are extremely clever and will get laughs from kids and parents alike, and the traditional songs are given some unique twists. The musical settings vary from folk to blues ("Groundhog") to reggae to a Paul Simon-esqe world-beat take on Eensy Weensy Spider. Just the sound effects rival Spike Jones and Frank Zappa. Your kids will love it. You may need to get one for each family car.

CD has broad appeal
author: Henry Baron, Director, Small Business Owner And Father, Jennerst
This is my son’s absolute favorite CD. He’s one and a half. It also happens to be mine – and I’m forty-nine! Mr. Weakland’s wacky sense of humor permeates every song. Whereas the clever wordplay and comedic performances appeal to me, my son Nicholas gets off on the very sophisticated – yet somehow traditional arrangements. He just can’t stop dancing. The variety in Mr. Weakland’s musicianship is truly exceptional! I’d classify the style of music as country/folk/rock/bluesy/pop/jazz/modern. This CD can be enjoyed on many levels – it’s educational, raucously funny and just plain toe-tapping fun. I’d love to see these songs put to some animated videos. They’d be hysterical!

Our little one LOVES this CD
author: Eric Lee
I can't count the times our little one has fallen asleep, awoken, danced, and played to this wonderful album. Thank goodness you can't wear a CD out! The songs are creative and varied, and the artist has a great understanding of what makes little ones tick. There are songs for jumping around and songs for calming down. Our 15-month old never gets tired of it, and it's witty and musically complex enough that we never do either.
