My 3 year old and I borrowed this cd from the library and LOVED IT! The "Noodle" song is super (please don't call it "pasta!"). I'm patiently waiting for this cd to be released again!!!

I popped the CD in the car stereo and watched my eight-month old son start dancing in his car seat to the beat of the Title song. What fun! The music brought the most amazing look of excitement and joy to his entire face! Whenever we begin to clap the beat of The Locomotion, his eyes light up and his feet start to kick. I renewed it half a dozen times before the library said it was on reserve. :( I need a copy! I want to give it to every new mother I know so that they can experience the pure joy and delight my husband and I have; and the fun that the Chenille Sisters have brought to our new little family. It brought tears of joy to my eyes when my husband shared that he loved their harmony and the blending of their voices together. He even memorized the words to Teaching Hipopotami To Fly, before I did. Then I knew that he shared my thrill towards this CD. We dance around the kitchen with wild abandon entertaining our now one-year old son. This one's a keeper!

This CD was our introduction to the Chenille Sisters, and it was an instant favorite of our whole family. The title song is hysterical, and has a great rhythmic beat to tap along with. My 8-year-old daughter also especially loves the poignant "Friends", about feelings when a dear friend moves away and a new friend moves in. Also great "My Family Went on a Vacation" -- be sure to listen carefully to "what that sentence really means" as the family travels to different countries and teaches kids to say stuff like, "My brother needs a diaper change" in Japanese or "I forgot to pack my underpants!" in German. Hysterical. The tight harmonies and clever lyrics make this a keeper in the car -- recommend for families with kids K-6 grade. My Brownie troop loves it too!
