We have been listening to Red Grammer for a while in my household and have fallen for each and every one of his CDs to date. "BeBop Your Best" is similar to "Teaching Peace" in that each song speaks of some aspect of behavior and character, whereas the other CDs are filled with old time family favorites with a few original pieces thrown in. I love how the 3-5 year old crowd immediately react to Red Grammer's songs about character-- better than a lecture from Mom or Dad any day! My 4 year old happily quotes from BeBop Your Best, reminding me, her friends, her imaginary playmates and even herself about the good choices we make every day. This CD is in heavy rotation at our house, both for the music and the message. I'm not certain I would want this particular CD any longer-- we all have out limit on how many behavior songs we can listen to!-- and am pleased with what is on it.

My five-year-old adores Red Grammer, and she LOVES this CD. We listen to it in the car almost daily. My husband said he finds himself singing the songs to himself at work, which he usually finds annoying with kids music, but the songs are so positive and such a great message that he finds himself uplifted by it. Adults and kids alike can benefit from "Bebop Your Best". My favorite is "Gratitude". Kind of a swanky tune with some cute lyrics. One day we were listening to "Caring and Compassion", and my daughter said, "This song would make me feel better if I was sick." Too funny. Red's awesome voice never gets old. This CD's worth every penny.

This new release by the wonderful folky tenor (a former Limelighter) is only 35 minutes long, which makes it a pricey item perhaps. However, who else could write such clever and musically varied short songs with dull one-word titles such as "Truthfulness" and "Responsibility"? Every elementary teacher in the USA who has to incorporate a "Character Counts" type agenda into their school year should purchase this disc. The shortest song is only a minute, the longest just over three minutes. The vocabulary level varies, the tempos vary, the musical style varies. Some are cute, some are serious, and all are sensible. Red is in good vocal shape here, and this is a worthy addition to his other children's CD's.
