5.0 out of 5 stars Music for kids that doesn't drive the parents insane!, December 8, 2000

This review is from: ROCK N ROAR DINOSAURS (Audio CD)

I bought this tape for my four year old because she is crazy about dinosaurs. As a four year old, she likes to hear her favorite music over and over...before bed, during our long drives in the car, etc. That means that I have to hear it as well. I am a singer with a trained voice and some of the kids music I have heard can make my skin crawl. This tape is the absolute exception! It is very well done and educational. My older children; ages 7, 9, and 13 enjoy it as well. But, they also loved the musical "Cats".

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Dino Songs for the Whole Family, August 6, 2001

This review is from: ROCK N ROAR DINOSAURS (Audio CD)

This is a fabulous album for dinosaur fans of all ages. A pair of lively dinosaur dance tunes frame an album of largely lyrical songs that allow various dinosaurs to introduce themselves. Despite the title, this is Broadway, not Rock & Roll. (See "Dinosaur Rock" if you prefer real Rock & Roll.) In a style remniscent of "A Chorus Line" or "Cats," the album features surprisingly imaginative melodies and lyrics with a synthesized accompaniment. The lyrics make only fleeting reference to the more gruesome aspects of dinosaur life, making this album suitable for listening in mixed settings with younger children. With well-crafted, interesting songs in a nicely paced album, this is a CD your children can listen to over and over again without driving you nuts.

As a side bonus, listeners get some genuine education with these songs. From "thick-headed" Pachycephalasaurus to "Mother Maiasaura" gaurding her nest of Hadrasaur babies, the songs feature accurate descriptions of dinosaurs (based on current scientific knowledge) that easily complement information available in non-fiction dinosaur books available at any public library. It's an amazing treat -- a science lesson that comes on stage and sings to you. It's also just plain fun, with tunes you'll find yourself humming again and again.
