"First of all, "Bedtime Business" is a cool song to jam to before going to bed. My favorite track is "Paprika's Lullaby" because Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper and Paprika are 3 of my favorite characters from the Show! "Day Turns Into Night" is a Jazzy number sung by an owl. New kids play Tickety and Slippery, whom I also Love. The end of the cd will bore little ones to sleep, IT HAS TO! The last song, "My Bed" willremind you of the "Twin Peaks" theme. The Hidden track is Blue's Dream."
Sweetest recording, plus GREAT music

"There is not one thing I don't like about this CD. I've been using it with my three-year-old since he was a cranky baby who wouldn't go to sleep. We'd cuddle up and listen and he'd be out in moments. Steve's voice is especially noticeable in this; you start to realize that the man can actually carry a tune! (also evident in the not-for-children "Songs For Dustmites", by the way) The absolute sweetest part, though, is the hidden track, "Blue's Dream". If the kids are still awake for that part, this will make them feel as though they've drifted off to sleep and are living right in Blue's dream. I thought it was a perfect end to a great CD. I highly recommend it."
We love Paprika's Lullabye

"My 3 1/2 year old son adores this CD. We listen to it in the car almost daily, and now at night, he has begun to request that I sing him "Paprika's Lullabye." Since I have heard it so many times, I am happy to oblige. It's a sweet lullabye full of delicious images for little ones, even including a moment worthy of Edith Piaf in there!"
Funny and sweet, makes little ones sleep.

"I like this CD, but more importantly my son loves it. He'll answer the questions, and laugh when it's funny.
I just love "Goodnight Bird", because it's a funny little story that reminds of my son fighting sleep every night.
The music is really good. Excellent singers, and very good musicians makes the jazzy CD easy to fall asleep to."
One serious problem with Blue's Clues music!

"The music and words are so catchy and infectious, you'll hear them in your head all the time! It can be EMBARASSING to suddenly belt out something like "It's our bedtime business; it's our sleepy time checklist" in public! Seriously, we have just discovered Blue's Clues, and my 5 year-old son just loves this and the Treasure Hunt CDs. We're constantly singing little snatches of the songs to one another. So if you're in Wal-mart, and you hear a mother and son singing Paprika's Lullabye, you'll know it's us!"
