This is a great buy. It has over 30 songs that my two year old knows from the Wiggles shows.

I agree with all the positive reviews... my 14 month old son LOVES it!

This is almost a duplicate of the video with only a few parts taken out. My biggest complaint about this album is that Greg's mike isn't what it should be. It's almost like he's singing through a vacuum - none of the other Wiggles mikes sound like his so I'm sure it wasn't the recording as much as it was the mike. Whether or not it could have been fixed in the studio, is debatable. It's almost to the point where I would have advised trying to overdub new vocals for each of the tracks. It isn't horrible, but it just isn't Greg either. He's almost in a different key. Anthony was the producer on this set and I think this just may be to his newness to the field. Just the same, I don't think your toddler is going to notice it very much - we're just in the music business and we pick up stuff like that very quickly. Our little one still just loves it and it is quite cute. They do such a great job on everything - it's just a shame that these vocals of Greg's just are not what they could be. He's a baritone and sounds like a second tenor on here.

Anyway, that aside, I'd still buy this over and over again and recommend it to my friends. We play this thing over, and over, and over again in the car because there's such a wide variety of songs on it that you don't tire of it very easily. It's very long but that's good. I particularly liked Captain Feathersword singing "Eagle Rock." Wouldn't mind hearing him sing a few more songs too here and there. I like the live orchestra on this cd and dvd - it just adds to the element of no canned music. Greg's musical ability comes out quite a bit in this set - it's fun to hear him just jump in there and start singing somewhere when the orchestra is playing. That's a plus for us adults out there. The clapping is not overly annoying either - they stop and start it very quickly and it doesn't just keep on going like in most recordings. It's edited quite well. For a children's cd, this really is hard to beat. I've never ever seen such well done performances for children as what the Wiggles give. They've been compared to Mr. Rogers and I honestly think that they may surpass him. It's fun to see what they come with each time and how they keep their audience. Try to keep your kids tuned in as long as possible with these cds of the Wiggles - they're teachers and they certainly teach a bunch. I love that Christmas medley at the end. I think our family favorite Wiggles song is "Go Santa, Go." Plus, the choreography is just something - it is pretty neat seeing all of those people up there doing the same thing in a straight line. Pretty neat stuff and pretty captivating for little ones.

If you're looking for a high quality cd, then this one is your choice for children. We just love it in our house and next time, maybe they can do something with Greg's microphone.

My daughter loves anything wiggles and this CD is no exception. It has her favorite Hot potatoe. The only negative is there is a lot of talking which interfers with the flow of the CD and irritates her. It just takes too long to get to the actual songs but once the song starts she is happy again.

My two young children like this the best of all the Wiggles albums they've heard, and ask to hear it over and over again. I'm not sure whether it's because of the music or the catchy title, but it's been a big hit in our house. There's a bit more talking than usual, and Santa makes an appearance (and wishes for Fruit Salad). Other highlights include a rousing rendition of D.O.R.O.T.H.Y. and Central Park, New York.

We have several Wiggles CDs, but this is our 2 year olds favorite. A couple months ago she would sing the last word of syllable of a phrase, now she sings the entire CD including the spoken word parts! I was trying to figure out where she learned the words to Jingle Bells and why she was singing it in May, then I remembered it was part of the Christmas melody!

My 2 1/2 yr old son loves the CD....he is a Wiggles addict. He dances along to the songs and tries to sing them too.

I am a 50 year old grandma that bought her 17month old grandaughter this as she just loves the Wiggles. A secret, her grandma does too. Anyway i think this is a great DVD because you really get involved with the dancing and the singing along with them. It's really colourful and so much singing and dancing but can't help but love it. I would recommend this to anyone who loves the Wiggles

My daughter loves the Wiggles and most of her favorite songs are on this CD!

My son has this movie on DVD. When I was looking for an audio CD, I kept coming back to this one because it has all the songs he loves. Very good quality.
