Editorial Reviews

"Alphabutt" follows up the highly successful soundtrack, "Juno", which featured many of Dawson's songs. A collection of children's songs written by Dawson along with her musical friends and their children. Hailed by the likes of Rolling Stone, NPR, Blender, and Pitchfork as a seriously talented wordsmith, Dawson successfully leads a group of children in this sunny and energetic batch of tunes with plenty of fun in the form of snapping fingers, clapping hands, and stamping feet. Tender and vulnerable; silly and raw.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Alphabutt, Poop, Pee, and Fart" should be the title, October 17, 2008

I got the album because I enjoy her other work. I don't have any kids (yet) but when I do, I'll be sure to let them have a copy. However, I can't imagine how old they will have to be to understand half of what she is saying. This album sounds like everything else she's put out - usually just Kimya singing with some backup vocals (some kids and baby's in this album), usually just a guitar and maybe some light drums and kazoo's, etc. That's not a bad think, just a fact.

The reason why I said "Alphabutt, Poop, Pee, and Fart" should be the title is because, well, this album uses the words like "poop" and "pee" many, many times in a humorous way that I think kids would love. Lines like "'P' is for Panda Peeing and Pooping in her Potty while Papa Plays Peekaboo." I'm 25 and I find it funny and entertaining.

If you have kids, an immature sense of humor, or simply like extremely different, humorous music, buy this album!

My sons, ages 5 & 6, absolutely LOVE this disc. They insist on it everytime we are in the car! I love it too..... we know all of the lyrics and sing together. If you are sick to death of Disney music, you HAVE to get this.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Kids Love Alphabutt, April 17, 2009

Thank you Kimya and Friends for creating this great cd! My kids love the catchy tunes, and so do I. The songs are clever, funny, and real. My almost 3-year-old keeps singing "pee-pee in the potty ... " which I am hoping is a hint that using the potty is coming soon! I find myself humming the tunes while shopping, even without my kids around. A few are truly moving. If you love being a parent, you'll love this cd. Great job Kimya and Friends!
