5.0 out of 5 stars What a great CD!, November 10, 2000

My son and I saw Tom Chapin when he was two. He's now three, and this is his favorite CD, and it's one of mine as well. Chapin's music is geared for kids without being that condesending, tooth-achy syrupy stuff associated with singing kids and purple dinosaurs. Buy this disk and your commute with your kids will be a lot easier!

I love Tom Chapin's music and this is, so far, my favorite album from him. Around the World and Back Again will have you dancing and clapping and singing along! My kids, boys ages 4 years & 16 months, love it as well. It gets us moving happily. Tom Chapin does not "sing down" to kids... he "sings up." He sings songs that teach without being preachy or "babyish." His music is quality music. In my opinion he is one of the best children's musicians out there today. Another bonus is that his music is totally non-character driven (no Elmo or Barney or Rugrats allowed!).

5.0 out of 5 stars Something we enjoy as much as the baby!, March 24, 1999

We didn't want our baby to get used to children's music that we couldn't stand... Around the World and Back Again was our answer. It's one of our favorites now, too. It's fun, the songs have a sense of humor, and a valuable sense of internationality.
