This CD is fun for adults, too. Most kids love dinosaurs, and this provides excellent music with scientifically accurate information about dinosaurs. It doesn't speak down to kids in terms of content or musical diversity; from blue-grass to zydeco and light rock, the musicianship is entertaining for all ages.

Highly recommended. Kids love it. More importantly, so do the parents. This CD is so special, it only comes out when we are on long road trips so that it does not become "over played". Once it is dark outside, the kids know that it is time for the Great Dinosaur Mystery.

My 3 and 5 year old children are going into their second year listening to this gem. I'm glad it's a CD and not an LP because it would have been worn out long ago. The Dino Rock folks also perform live with puppets (mainly in the D.C. area) and are wonderful.

This audio book has been a family favorite of ours for years! I got this for my sons when they were 2 and 3, my nieces and nephew enjoyed them and now grandchildren, they love them just as much as my boys did. Educational and fun.

Great variety of music styles and songs interspersed between dino facts. Great for my Pre-K schooler, who listens and sings to perfect synch after the 3rd go - around. Not bad for parents listening too. It is rather like a musical about dinosaur so do not expect music in every track (check sampler) but the whole CD creates a fun story for the kids to listen and learn. Some songs have fun with foreign accents, which may be hard for younger kids to understand all the lyrics. But is a great musical with a dinosaur theme.

Enjoyable for both adults and children, this CD combines useful information about dinosaurs with different styles of musical expression. It contains very "catchy" tunes.

As other reviewers have said, these DinoRock productions are great for kids. The music quality is fantastic! Each one has several songs that I love to sing along with, and I often sing or hum the catchiest parts off and on during the day.

But -- the narration is kind of annoying. And I feel bad expressing this opinion, because I really do like these works, but I would like them so-o-o much better if they had hired professional actors to do the spoken parts. I'm sorry, the tunes are great, but the spoken lines fall flat! Very amateur sounding. I'm pretty sure that even I could do a better job reading the lines. So, if you are easily annoyed by that type of production flaw, be fore-warned. But of course, the kids don't mind, and most assuredly don't even notice.
