5.0 out of 5 starsGreat Stuff!
By Eric Anderson-Zych on December 29, 2001
Format: Audio CD
What a fantastic album for kids, parents, and anybody who loves a blend of folk/roots/pop. The whole album is great but these tracks stand out:
- Malti and Linstead Market have a Caribbean feel to them.
- Wonder Wheel has some good pop hooks and reminds me of The Kinks "Come Dancing.
- Hokey Pokey, Water for the Elephants and Skip to My Lou let parents listen to a children's song and still enjoy it even after dozens of playings.
- All Around the Kitchen is a kid's song that rocks.

4.0 out of 5 starsAnother Kid-Pleaser by Zanes
By dephal VINE VOICE on May 8, 2006
Format: Audio CD
We own several of Dane Zanes' CDs, but this is the one that's currently in my car's CD player. Consequently, I've listened to it approximately a zillion times in the past month.

The good news? My 3 and 6 year olds love it, and both enjoy singing along. It hasn't driven me insane yet, and I'm actually quite fond of "Malti" and a couple of the other songs. My 3 year old has learned to count to 10 in Spanish. The CD comes packaged in a board book, and both girls enjoy looking at the book as we drive. My older daughter has learned to properly pronounce "Edinburgh."

The bad news? I wake up in the morning and find myself humming "Fooba Wooba John" or "Yo Yo." I think these songs are permanently imprinted in my brain. A couple of the other songs are a little boring.

I think kids of most ages will enjoy this CD, and grownups won't hate it. It's not my favorite of the genre, but it makes a nice addition to our car music rotation. Oh, and if you visit Zanes' website, most of the song lyrics are posted there. I wish they were printed in the board book so the kids could read along.

5.0 out of 5 starsDan Zanes saves the world from Barney and Disney
By Will Lingo on August 21, 2002
Format: Audio CD
I feared having a child would mean ceding the stereo to "Cartoon Monkey Love Song" and whatever other dreck Disney and other companies pass off as kids' music. Fortunately, I saw a profile in The New York Times Magazine on Zanes soon after my son was born and ordered both this album and Rocket Ship Beach. I like this one a little bit better, while my wife prefers the other, but they're both excellent.
More important, our son loves them both. He's been listening to them since he was six months old, and he's gone from sitting on the floor clapping along to dancing around and bouncing up and down with the beat. I'm sure he'll be singing along soon. I'd say "Thrift Shop" is the best song on this disc, but they're all good, and the contributions of Father Goose on both of Zanes' albums are outstanding.
Another interesting note: Donald Saaf, the outstanding illustrator of children's books (check out "Pushkin Meets the Bundle" if you don't already have it), not only provides art for both of these discs, but he sings on both as well.

5.0 out of 5 starsa gem-- not just for kids
By A Customer on December 5, 2001
Format: Audio CD
I have an admission to make. I listen to this cd over and over-- when my kids AREN'T around. This sparkling cd follows Dan Zanes' wonderful first "kids" cd, Rocketship Beach, and shows that Dan is really on to something revolutionary. Most of the material here is more vibrant than most of what's on today's radio for grownups, let alone kids. Special favorites on this one are "Jump" and "Wonder Wheel". Rankin' Don's "Skip to My Lou" and "Hokey Pokey" are a hoot. "All Around the Kitchen" with Loudon Wainright III is a true nitty-gritty rocker which wouldn't be out of place in a smoke-filled rock club at 1:30 am. Finally, Roseanne Cash imbues "Fooba Wooba John" with haunting beauty; surprising and welcome on this traditional children's tune.
Buy this for yourself. If they're very, very lucky, maybe you'll share it with some young people you know.

5.0 out of 5 starsA great collection for the entire family
By Flower Girl on March 24, 2006
Format: Audio CD
Dan Zanes has put together an amazing and varied collection of songs for kids of all ages. While we like all of his CD's, this may be the favorite.

I love to listen to this while I cook dinner. It's a time of day that can be ultra-stressful, but the music seems to take the edge off. The Rock Island Line gets me dancing around the kitchen. The kids set the table while circling it to All Around the Kitchen (a little chaotic, yes, but fun.) The carribean beat of Yo Yo Sweet Yo Yo is catchy and very fun. And, I have to disagree with those reviewers who didn't care for Father Goose, we're fans, especially of his version of the Hokey Pokey.

I am anxious to take my kids to see Dan in concert; if it's half as much fun as his CD's are it will be something my kids will remember for a long time to come.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Savior of Kids' Music!
By Amazon Customer on November 28, 2005
Format: Audio CD
As a die-hard music lover with a three-year-old, I am always searching for that elusive CD that my daughter and I can agree on. We've had some pleasant suprises on the "grown-up music" side, but precious few on the kids' music. Dan Zanes is the exception. This CD is clever, well performed, musically diverse, and completely singable. I will never forget the first time I heard my daughter singing along to "Water for the Elephant" from the back seat--priceless!

The thing I love best of all about this CD is the infusion of different musical influences--Caribbean, zydeco, American roots, and rock, to name a few. What a great way to introduce your child to the many sounds of the world around us!
