Review

If some genius concert promoter ever puts together a Lilith Fair for 5 year-olds, Frances England should be the headline act. The singer-songwriter brings a little bit of Sarah McLachlan and a little bit of Norah Jones, yet manages to create a sound that is distinctly her own. --Cookie Magazine

Product Description

A unique blend of folk and indie influences merge to create an album that will charm both parents and children.

5.0 out of 5 stars the absolute BEST cd for kids - and parents!!, March 21, 2008

By	Julie Rogers (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

frances england's music was introduced to me well before i had a child - and i proudly admit that i immediatly loaded her music into my ipod playlists. how many of us parent-types can say that they listen to their kids' music when their children aren't even around?!! that is how good this cd is. no kidding.

the lyrics are refreshingly clever & new. the tunes are catchy. (it's not unusual for me to find myself humming one of her songs randomly during my day - and not in an annoying i-can't-get-this-darn-song-out-of-my-head way, either.) and frances couldn't have a more sweet voice. oh, and my daughter digs her music. we're looking forward to frances' world tour!

fascinating creatures is a most excellent baby gift for parents-to-be who fear that the only music they'll get to hear for the next 10 years of their lives will be cloyingly cute children's music. you will restore their faith that everything child-related doesn't have to be ridiculously hokey.

5.0 out of 5 stars She makes Momma's and toddler's DANCE!, June 5, 2007

By	Inger Frauenheim "Momma Pete" (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This newcomer on the children's music scene.....rocks! She could be likened to Elizabeth Mitchell in some ways, but her lyrics distinguish her from anyone else I've heard. My little boy loves the second cut...."Tricycle." And I have to say that "The tour de france in your underpants," (on your tricycle) is such a tummy buster! So much fun! BUY it and several copies today!
