This is an amazing album for both kids and parents. I've been giving it as a gift to every parent I know. Their kids already know all the words and want to hear the songs again and again, and the parents are thanking me over and over because they like listening to it too!

The first time I heard it I knew that this was something big...great talent performing, great songs, great characters...but most of all, really great messages that kids can 'get' without being spoken down to.

I wish they would turn this into a TV show for kids...we need more of A World of Happiness to counteract the world of reality television our kids are growing up in.

These are som of the coolest performers. Perry Farrell is amazing with Debbie Harry. Even Gary Oldman can sing. Who knew? Seriously, this is agreat album for kids, but they're going to have to buy their own copy.

I've been waiting a long time for a hit of positive energy to help the world be a better place and have found it in A World of Happiness. I love the concept, the songs, the voices of the kids interspersed, the wonderful messages done so beautifully, the variety and richness of the different styles and rhythms. I love the sheer energy of the whole production. I can't wait for all my grandchildren to hear it. And while I'm at it I plan to buy some more copies to give to my friends who have grandchildren ( if they'll part with it).

Where else can you find original songs and poems performed by a diverse
cast of stars such as Deborah Harry, Perry Farrell and Samuel L. Jackson?
This immaculately produced album WILL appeal to parents as well as children.
"Just Ask" is a hilarious reminder for kids to do just that.
Other highlights include "The Possibilities", which boasts one of the best
tunes on the CD plus a beautiful string arrangement and vocals. Recommended!

This album is just full of joy. As a mother, I have found it so difficult to find quality material for my daughter. I figured there must be more then the teletubbies and Barney. That stuff is just terrible and a horrible influence on children. Now, with this CD, I finally have something for my child that is great fun to listen to and contains the positive messages I want my child to hear. Great music and amazing performances. Can't wait for the next one (will there be a next one?)

I know this CD is supposed to be for kids and I'm sure kids like it, but I can't stop listening to it. With the Sam Jackson song, Knowa' and Lisa Loeb, it is in heavy rotatiopn in my cd player and iPod. It just rocks and it will make you feel great! Perry Farrel and Debbie Harry rock too.

This is a wonderful CD - a rare combination of a terrific teaching tool and a lot of fun.

Kids and their parents will love it. They'll probably be singing and dancing by the second song, just as I was.

As a psychologist and a grandmother, I am always looking for ways to teach values such as kindness, generosity and patience. This CD does it beautifully. A great gift.

I am a major fan of 70's era kids records, most notably Free to be You and Me and the classic Schoolhouse Rock. Forget school, I learned everything I know from those records.

Luckily, this record doesn't try to steal from the past to make it's mark. Instead, we are given bright, catchy, ultra-relevant "kids" music, performed by some high profile talent and peppered with messages of thoughtfulness, patience and compassion. Songs that people of all ages can benefit from, now more than ever.

It's cool. And about time.

This collection of songs is a joy to listen to. The music is catchy and stays with you. The lyrics are clear and meaningful for kids and the messages are terrific. And the artists who participated were a wonderful group and so varied.

This is a great cd. The songs are fun to sing to and even as an adult I find myself humming them throughout the day. But the proof is seeing my niece jump and down every time we put the cd on.

It's such a treat to have singers like Lou Rawls and Debbie Harry singing children's songs. And Samuel Jackson's spoken word on "Noah the Cat" is an inspiring performance.

I wish there were more children's cds out there as cool as this one.
