Editorial Reviews

Kids will be inspired to treasure and protect the Earth with this entertaining collection of songs and stories about the changing planet we live on. Inspired by the Free to be You and Me album they grew up with in the 1970s, four moms brought together more than 24 independent singers and actors including Joan Osborne, Toby Lightman, The Wiyos, Noah Emmerich, Nadia Ackerman, Matt Ross and more to create a unique and memorable album. From upbeat, take-action tunes like Going Green to thought-provoking tunes like Henry to touching melodies like Polar Bears in Love, this album offers something for the whole family. 100% of My Changing Planet's net profits from the sale of the album will be donated to The Nature Conservancy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A compilation that really holds together--musically and thematically, March 15, 2010

This review is from: My Changing Planet (Audio CD)

As the parent of a 4-year-old and a six-year old, I've heard more than my share of kids' compilation discs that just don't hold up under scrutiny. They're thrown together, foisted onto parents as a supposedly good idea, and they lack a compelling musical side to them. "My Changing Planet" is a wonderful exception to this rule. Remember "Free to Be You & Me" from when we were kids? This is just that kind of concept album--it's got a great thread holding the songs together thematically, and just as importantly, the music is excellent! You can have the world's most compelling theme, but it's no fun to listen to your disc if the songwriting and singing aren't good. Well, this disc has the best of both of those worlds. My kids love the songs, and so do I. The Joan Osborne track is really catchy, and so is the title track by the honey-voiced Toby Lightman. This disc is a treat.

I generally don't like kids music but this is catchy and I like listening to it. It has reinforced many environmental concepts I talk about with my kids. I have bought 9 of them for friends at this point and they all like it as well.

This CD is so good that I even listen to it after my daughter gets out of the car! It is definitely our favorite kids music. In fact, she is singing "No te creo" to herself while coloring as I write this! Great message and great music. What more could you ask for?
