5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have for any Thomas fan!, January 8, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Thomas & Friends: Thomas Train Yard Tracks (Audio CD)

My three year old son is a huge Thomas fan, and he loves this CD! We play it at least once a day. I love the CD myself and love singing the songs along with my son. We listen to the CD while playing with his Thomas trains, but also take it along with us in the car.

The songs are extremely catchy and lyrics are provided. Some of the songs teach important lessons without sounding too parental. 'Boo Boo Choo Choo' talks about not being afraid of the dark, and the 'Rules and Regulations' song is pretty self explanatory.

My only complaints: at the beginning of 'Come for the Ride' there is an annoying voice-over for a couple of seconds, and there isn't a musical lead-in on 'Night Train' like there is in the Sing-Along version on the 'Spills and Chills' DVD. I may be being biased here, because these two songs are our favorites.

Wow! What a great CD! My just-turned-two-year-old loves to play with his trains, and while he enjoys the television show, he's FAR more interested in the music. After a long car ride with the mind-numbing ditties of Elmo, Jay Jay the Jet Plane, and even Caillou (whom I adore, but let's face it, the voice gets to you after awhile), these songs are a breath of fresh air, I guess because the lyrics are often poetic and refreshing in a children's CD; the music is also varied and well-performed. So while I've tried to steer the poor child away from squeaky-voiced toddler music (which, let's be honest, he loves) and toward the more adult-friendly kids CDs (such as "For the Kids," which he doesn't), this one seems to strike a perfect chord. James' Song and Little Engines are our favorites. The other Thomas CD is almost as good but I chose to write a review for this one because I think the songs are just a little more sophisticated, and the music is really beautifully done. Bravo, Thomas!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for kids AND Parents!, January 11, 2005

This Thomas CD is just as good as the other ("Roundhouse Rhythms"), though I'm glad I have both, just for a little variety. My 4-year-old son, the train fanatic, got them both for his birthday and that's all we've listened to since. The music and lyrics are very well done - sophisticated enough for the adults and fun enough for kids. A great choice for those kids who already have every Thomas toy or video produced, or for those parents who don't want to introduce a lot of TV time OR a lot of small toys to buy/step on/lose.
