Tap your feet and sing along with Linda Arnold on Favorites in the Key of Fun. This album is a compilation from her six earlier albums that also includes five new songs. Arnold's voice is a clear, pure soprano and her gift for enchanting, original lyrics and melodies is evident throughout. A true master of genres, she wows us with a mix of styles ranging from ballads and waltzes to rock and jazz songs to boogie, Broadway show tunes, and cowboy ditties. Children will delight in encountering their favorite animals in songs like "At the Dinosaur Baseball Game" and parents will applaud Arnold's messages: imagination and dreams, she demonstrates, are valuable ("Make Believe"), eating your vegetables is important ("Vegetable Lament"), and, above all, children need love ("Quite a Combination"). Excellent child soloists are featured on several songs and differing combinations of guitars, woodwinds, keyboards, brass, and strings appear throughout. This is a wonderful selection of songs by a truly gifted artist. --Tami Horiuchi

5.0 out of 5 stars Daughter's favorite, July 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Favorites in the Key of Fun (Audio CD)

My daughter, who turned 2 today, loves Linda Arnold. In fact, "Listen to Arnold?" has become her most frequent request, replacing "Baby Beluga." She sings along with a number of the songs, but her favorite is "There's a Dinosaur Knocking at My Door."

5.0 out of 5 stars Mama in the key of fun, May 20, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Favorites in the Key of Fun (Audio CD)

I love this CD! It's easy to understand, and Linda Arnold doesn't speed up too much for pre-schoolers. My son is not overly enthusiastic about music, though he will sing or clap along on occasion. This CD has had the most success of any CD's I've shared with him - he'll even sing the title verse of "There's a Dinosaur Knockin' On My Door." But most of all, I like it: the melodies are irresistable, the lyrics are easy, clearly pronounced, creative and fun. This is great children's music, and I like singing along with it, too.
