Just plain fun!

"I grew up listening to Rosenshontz, and now that I have my own children I couldn't have been happier to find that one of the team mates was still available. My children weren't disappointed when they heard this CD.



This CD is perfect for car rides or times at home where you're otherwise thinking about putting on a movie to sedate the kids. OK, so this will rile them up a little because my kids can't seem to sit still while listening to gary, but so what. I'd rather hear them laughing and singing to a song in the car than having them whine about the trip.



We're also lucky enough to live in New England so we could see Gary in concert -- which I strongly recommend. I only felt bad for the person in the Winnie the Pooh costume who paraded out during the "Teddy Bear's Picnic" -- the person was mobbed to the point where they couldn't move and needed help getting out of the crowd of children. (One little tyke actually got angry and started hitting Winnie, and the kid's Mom didn't do anything -- don't you hate when that happens?) Each of my children found there way in to get a hug, so whenever they hear the title song to this CD they are thrilled.



So, I'd strongly recommend this CD for any parents who are looking for some fun entertainment for their children. That's what it is all about, isn't it?"

Great songs for kids AND THEIR PARENTS

"This was our first Gary Rosen CD, and it will not be our last. The songs are upbeat, singable, and musically interesting. Not your average kids fare."

I love Gary Rosen!

"I think the first reviewer was off the mark. Gary Rosen sings for children, which is why his voice and instrumentals are so, well, hammy. When and where I grew up, we sometimes had Rosenschontz (Rosen and his then-partner, Bill Schontz), play at our elementary school. So maybe it's nostalgia, but I love this music! And, more importantly, so does my three-year-old son. It's less sappy and more fun than most kids' music."
