5.0 out of 5 stars Woth it for Coulton's Song alone... Others are a bonus! December 18, 2010

By H. Bergevin

Format:Audio CD

We bought this compilation becasuse of Spare the Rock Spoil the Child's music podcast, which was adore.... after hearing the song "The Princess who Saved Herself," I absolutely HAD to own it for my children. So Creative and positive!!! So, we bought this album. the only problem is that we wish it had the song Big Pig Sylvester on it too, but the rest of the songs are likewise awesome, and we cannot wait to memorize them all. Definitely an album for parents who a)love to share GREAT music with their kids, but who b)loathe "disneyfied" saccharine kid's albums. This is the Anti-Saccharine-- good rock music, safe for kids, perfect for the after school dance party. My baby, who is two, loves it, and my ten year old loves it as well. And it blessed charity as well? AWESOME.

5.0 out of 5 stars An instant family heirloom! December 8, 2010

By Jeff Bogle

Format:Audio CD

Many Hands is an instant family heirloom of a CD, worthy of being passed on to future generations. It's also a lovely slice of the vibrant children's music world in 2010; comprehensive in it's scope yet tight-knit at the same time (just like the kindie scene itself!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Pleasantly surprised - a JOY of a musical find! January 5, 2011

Bought this CD on a whim during holiday shopping, more for the cause than high expectations for the music. After unwrapping at Christmas we threw it in the car and listen to it on family road trips. It is GREAT! The kids love it, and the adults love it. The variety of artists means each song is a very fresh sound. Many of the Lyrics are very joyful, playful, and even inspirational. I now am encouraged to explore and see if indeed there may be out there a whole Genre called "family music" that is filled with love-made music like this that I could tap into (I was previously just aware of 'childrens music' or 'kid music' and this CD just exceeds that label by many miles). I will recommend this highly to all my personal friends with kids, and give it out as gifts often. But it is SOOOOooo good, I felt obliged to give it a positive public review here in hopes that others may stumble onto this treasure.
