3.0 out of 5 stars Monkees - 'Barreful Of Monkees' (Rhino), December 7, 2003

Twelve songs aimed toward the younger pop fans.A couple of novelty cuts include the down right silly "Gonna Buy Me A Dog"(a different version than what I remember)and "Pillow Time".Best tracks as far as I'm concerned are "Your Auntie Grizelda","Laugh" and the somewhat jamming "Saturday's Child".Wonder why they've never performed that song live.

This is the worst CD that the Monkees ever had. I hope this doensnt give people the wrong impression of what the Monkees were really about!

5.0 out of 5 stars "It's a wonderland for Alice....", May 11, 2003

"Pillow Time," sung by Mickey Dolenz, is the best cut on the disc: a sweet, sly, jazzy tune persuading a child to sleep with visions of a "sleepy train" coming to collect them. And thus ends this terrific cd for kids. Opening with the boistress "Monkees Theme," and filled in the middle with such yummy selections as Carol King's "Your Auntie Grizelda" and Mike Nesmith's "Papa Genes's Blues," this is the perfect cd for your kids or the kid in you!
