My son really enjoys the Backyardigans on Nick Jr. and I have to say, I do too!

These hilarious characters, who imagine amusing adventures while in the back yard, are fun to watch--breaking out in song at a moment's notice! What's especially great is that the music of The Backyardigans features different music genres such as disco, 20's-style jazz, mambo, swing, 60's-style rock, and much more!

We bought this CD for my son several weeks ago and he LOVES it! In additon to being child-friendly, though, it's PARENT friendly. Unlike other repetitive, irritating, mind-numbing kid CD's, these songs are fresh, well-sung, and downright hilarious. We put this CD among the selections in our car's CD changer, and I think my husband and I enjoy it as much as my son! We found ourselves snickering and even laughing out loud to the witty and whimsical songs on this CD.

Featuring 19 upbeat songs--none of which sound the same--this CD has a run-time of 36:09.

Highly recommended!

I bought this CD as a gift for my daughter and, much to my delight, it has turned out to be a treat for the whole family. I think this show does much to encourage a love of music in children and to expose them to the seemingly infinite variety of musical styles that exist in the world. The lyrics are cute and fun and I find myself singing along with my daughter. In fact, I sometimes find these songs running through my head while I'm at work. If I ever met the creator of this show, I would thank her profusely for dreaming up something so gentle and sweet and fun for children that is also entertaining for parents.

We have an 8 month old daughter who absolutely loves the Backyardigans. She can be crying her head off and we put on the show;instantly I MEAN INSTANTLY she stops and starts watching. Now we have this ability in the car with the cd... Oh the places we will go! Plus who can resist the Rockabilly Lullaby.

Awesome! Even though this cool show is on the same channel as (gulp) Dora the Explorer, there's nothing stupid
about it. It features Uniqua, Tasha, Pablo, Tyrone, and Austin ( who is not on the show very often ) who are neighbors
that use their imagination. This CD features songs such as Yeti Stomp, Into The Thick Of It, and much more.
Nothing on it is about shapes and numbers, making it fun for all ages. You'll find yourself humming to these songs locked
up in a room, maybe even in front of people. I'm a big Backyardigans fan. So far, there is two videos about The Backyardigans.
The show is NOT like...

Lazytown
Barney
Dora
Blue's Clues

.... so it's perfectly fine to watch. Don't feel bad if you're
a fan of The Backyardigans.
I hope you'll buy this CD! It's a feast for your ears.

MY 9 MONTH OLD LOVES THE CARTOON. HE IS A LITTLE SCARED OF THE DARK IN THE CAR. WHEN HE STARTS TO CRY WE PUT ON THE CD AND INSTANTLY HE IS CALM. IF YOU ARE A BACKYARDIGAN FAN, YOU WILL LOVE THE WHOLE ENTIRE CD!!!

My 17month old daughter and my 4year old love the Backyardigans. I just pop this in the cd player and we sing and dance like crazy. i find myself singing the songs at work.

Our daughter absolutely loves the Backyardigans. This CD has made car rides so fun for her. She wants to listen to it over and over again and again. (Is it acceptable to be a 30 year old dad and love this CD just as much as she does???) We highly recommend this CD to all Backyardigans lovers!

Four stars is a pretty lousy thing to do to such a fantastic CD soundtrack to such a fantastic show, but there are some omissions which I just couldn't let slide. My personal favorite, uh... I mean, my *kid's* favorite episode is "Surf's Up," featuring four of the best songs from the series. Sadly, not a single one is captured on this highlights CD. Still, this is a great, albeit limited compilation from one of the best kid's shows going.

I just got this CD and I have two (2) more on order for installing on a Sandisk Shaker MP3 Player for my 2-year old boy so he can listen to his favorite music.

It plays in the car's CD player fine; plays in the home theater fine. I went to burn the tracks to my PC, clicked "Play Music" on the interface that loaded up, Windows Media Player launched, but no files were visible.

I navigated to the CD with Windows Explorer and found that it contains a large executable (about 300 MB), but no soundtracks.

Obviously, the music is embedded to prevent others from copying it.

I have this and two more of these Backyardigans CDs on order specifically for loading the files onto the Shaker (that is also on order). How do I get the music off of the CD and onto the Shaker? I'm not giving my 2-year old access to my car or our home theater!

I gave this 2 Stars because (that I've been able to see) no one else has mentioned this. Had *someone* mentioned this, I would have instead just purchased the downloads directly from Amazon.

Hopefully, with 2 Stars, it will jump out and others will know to purchase the downloads from Amazon instead of thinking they can just get the CD for about the same price, rip the music to their computer, and still have a backup CD.

We love this CD. Sometimes my husband and I listen to it in the car when our son is not with us. It's that catchy. Our son loves it and perks up everytime we put it in. Would absolutely recommend it.
