Editorial Reviews

– Moira McCormick, Billboard Magazine/Family Fun

· "Bursting with warmth, exuberance, and humor, Chicago folk-rocker Justin Roberts’ Great Big

Sun is a sheer delight

Product Description

A children's album, influenced by James Taylor, Bob Dorough (Schoolhouse Rock) and Randy Newman, Great Big Sun is full of songs that are by turn humorous, educational and poignant yet never lose the wide-eyed naiveté of childhood.·

"Great Big Sun is directly responsible for some of the fondest memories I will have of our twin daughters infancy. In fact, I’m so fond of [Great Big Sun] that I’ve played it for my own enjoyment when the girls were nowhere near." – Lou Diamond Phillips, Film Actor

This quirky and smart CD is one that my kids love and is never tiresome to me. I often listen to this CD even when my kids are not around. It is just that good. His puts on a great live show.

5.0 out of 5 stars If only all children's music was this rewarding, September 25, 2001

Justin Roberts "Great Big Sun" is a true gem in our collection of family music. His songs have the ability to teach and inspire my daughter, while keeping Mom and Dad singing right along. My only complaint is that the album just doesn't seem long enough. This minor problem was quickly overcome when i bought his second children's record, "Yellow Bus" (but that's for my next review). I smile at the cleverness of his writing. All parents should challenge their kids with this kind of music. While nursery rhymes are fun, this music is definitely the next step in moving your kids to the next level of understanding the power and magic of music.
