This is simply a wonderful disk that both children and their parents will love. It has great songs and a wonderful flow to the album. The excellent playing and musicianship has an "organic" quality to it. I would rank it #3 all time behind "Not for Kids Only" by Garcia/Grisman and the greatest childrens disk of all time "You're Nice People You Are" by NRBQ. These 3 disks are essential to any parent who wants to enjoy the music as much, if not more than their children.

I have to be in the mood for alot of my children's music. I can only take so much Raffi and Laurie Berkner and I have to leave the room. From the minute I turned this CD on, I was dancing around the room and singing along with this wonderful man's music. What a relief to actually like my kids music! How nice to actually listen to someone who can sing well!

What I liked most about this CD is that alot of these songs were songs that I sang in grade school music class. Songs like Waltzing Matilda and Hop up Ladies. Wow, take me back! I also love, absolutely LOVE, Sunny Old Sun and Shining Star. Not only is the singing good, but the musical ability of his band it outstanding.

I listen to this, even when my kids aren't around...that's how good it is!

My 2 1/2 year old son loves all of the albums, but this one is all of our favorites. We just saw Dan and friends in concert in the fall and it was an amazing show!

This music is so much fun and I love how they take old standards and breathe new life into them.

This is definitely "cool" kid's music. If you are a hip parent, you need to check this out!

I must start by saying that I LOVE Raffi -- but every now and then, it's nice to find something to bridge the gap between "mommy's music" and the kids' music. A great friend gave this to me and said that it was all the rage. My first play left me wondering if she was crazy - I thought that it was too low-key and too Bob Dylan-ish to fly with my kids (3 and 5)....but then we kept listening, and I don't know how it happened, but we are all addicted! It is really fun music, great for singing and dancing, and definitely worth a try. I'm getting it for my sister and her family, and recommend it highly to anyone.

My 2 year old is hooked. He is our resident DJ and this is his new favorite of choice, and mine too. Nothing puts a smile on ALL our faces in the witching hours of late afternoon/early evening (when I'm trying to get dinner made) like this CD. Between Dan Zanes and Ralph Covert, my kids have stopped asking for TV. In fact, if the TV is on, the younger one will go turn on the music anyway. You cannot go wrong with this CD.
