my two girls loved this cd. they really love all that is avaliable on this cd such as Dora the explorer, face, and so on. this cd is highly recommended to all parents with children who watch nick jr. on a daily bases!

I am not only speaking for myself; my 2, 3 and yes 11 year old (even though he won't admit it) love it as well! I think that not only is this CD fun, but also educational and inspirational. Inspiration you say about a NICK JR cd? YEP. I think it encourages kids to be artistic and different. It's great. What can I say. A 33 year old baby I am. Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck and loves NICK JR.

If you like even one show on Nick Jr., then there's something for you on this CD. There's tunes from "Blue's Clues" to "Kipper" and even fairly decent singing by Nick Jr.'s mascot, Face. This CD is classic Nick Jr., from before they changed the look and behavior of Face and ported many of their best programs over to Noggin.

The best thing about this album is the inclusion of some of the great songs that only show up maybe once or twice on your favorite Nick Jr. shows. Enjoyed the "Planet Song" from "Blue's Clues?" It's here. Adore Hamilton's "paper flowers" song from "Maggie and the Fercious Beast?" It's on here, along with his singing about his box to boot.

The only oversight that I can think of is not including more of the instrumental only closing themes from some of those shows. Otherwise, everything is top-notch.

This is a fun CD, with all the original songs from your kids' favorite Nick Jr. shows. My only gripe is that Bob the Builder wasn't included, instead two wordless themes from Little Bear were thrown in as well as two identical Little Bill instrumentals. Also, Gullah Gullah Island, which Nick Jr hasn't carried in years, is included. It's a good CD and worth buying, but it could have been better.

I love listening to my daughter sing along. It is so cute. She really does enjoy these songs. :)

My daughter is 2 1/2 and she loves listening to this CD! She asks for it all the time. I have a copy in my car, and a copy in the house for her listening pleasure. I drive an hour to and from my parents house and it makes the trip enjoyable to her. She loves all the tunes because she's familiar with some of the Nick Jr. TV programs. The tunes are catchy, however, after listening to this CD for an hour at a time, I find that some of the songs stick in my head and drive me crazy for the rest of the day. But as far as my daughter is concerned, this is her favorite CD. As long as she's happy, I'm happy.

My three and one year old kids both LOVE this cd. They sing along to their tv favorites and like the ones that are new to them. It's really not too bad for mom and dad in the car either. A WARNING!!! Some of those catchy kids tunes will stick in your head all day and you'll find yourself singing "Oranges grow on trees on trees", but it's a small price to pay for peaceful car trips.

Nick Jr. has been a part of our family since my oldest son Joshua was about 2 years old. I would sit down after breakfast with him and watch the shows that have become part of his childhood memories. Not long after, his sister was born and it wasn't long before she was fascinated with Blues Clues, Dora, Face, Gulla Gulla and many other shows with their easy to understand stories and songs. The children and I would sing and repeat the songs. Actually I would sing and they would listen and laugh. I still don't know what my wife was thinking all these years. Now we have a third child and he really gets into it. But then he's a chip off his old man's shoulder. This CD is great for travel, especially long distances where it keeps children concentrating on the songs instead of distracting me while fighting with each other.

I bought this for my son when he was two (he's almost four now) because he loved to sing the Blue's Clues songs. I was not familiar with some of the shows featured (Little Bill, Kipper), because we don't watch Nick Jr., only Noggin (no commercials! but most the shows are the same), but loved it all! So fun. Eventually, he got a hold of the CD and scratched it all up, and I missed listening to it with him so much, we bought it again. Another reviewer mentioned being disapointed that Gullah Gullah songs were included, and I just want to say that if you, like me, have seen that show and found it somewhat nauseating, don't worry, the songs from Gullah Gullah Island included here are way way fun! "I love to get my haircut, yes I do! I love to get my haircut, oh you know it's true, would you like to get your haircut, too?" He even loves the instrumental songs, and instantly recognizes them "Mom! it's the Little Bear song!" Bottom line, even if you and your child don't watch all of these shows and know their songs, you will still love this CD.

My 2 & 3 year old love listening to the tape.

I am purchasing the CD online today so we can listen in the car.

My husband and I enjoy listening to it also.

It is GREAT.
