"My children both request this CD over and over again, although they can agree on little else! I also adore listening to it. The key distinction, I think, is the wild variety of rhythms in each song, but the melodies are irresistable and the lyrics terrific, too. This music does not 'speak down' to children, it is witty and gorgeous and thrilling, and my children have been inspired and taught by its sophistication and joyousness."
Chases away the grumpies for kids and adults.

"We play this one alot at our house, but it's especially great when the kids (or parents) have the grumpies! You cannot listen to this one without bopping along...I first heard Nora's Room on our public radio station (which is where I get all the good kid's music ideas) It's wonderful...the lyrics are engaging (and understandable) for kids and the harmonies and instrumentation keep it interesting for adults. Our 3 yrs and 18 mo old sons love it, and now all their cousins have it too! Harper also has a Christmas album that's just great."
Great music for the whole family.

"We LOVE this cd. We gave it to our two year old last Christmas, but the whole family sings and dances to the music. We haven't tired of our little one's daily request for "crash, bang, boom". Thanks Jessica Harper."
Even my hard-to-please husband likes it!

"I think the best review of this CD came from my husband when he said..."I can't believe I'm saying this, but this CD is really growing on me and I'm singing to it!" (This is from a dad that has barely tolerated other kids' CDs...even the really good ones!). And our kids also sing along in the back seat as we listen to it over and over and over. Her voice is very soothing yet the songs are very upbeat. I highly recommend this one."
Completely engaging

"Our child's school/daycare introduced us to this CD and I'm so glad. It's absolutely wonderful, very upbeat and the true test is how long a 2-yr old can listen to it. Both of us were dancing/hopping wildly around the living room last night! And if you read the lyrics and listen carefully (as an adult) you really appreciate how clever the album is. Am eager to hear more from her."
