"I loved Saving the Wildlife, and my kids (ages 8 - 14) loved it even more! The music is incredibly creative, mimicking the animals with charm. They have learned a great deal about music in general just from this CD alone. We talked about the need for tempo and structure, and major and minor sounds after listening to Everglades and Barbecue. We have acted out the various animals as we listened to it: imagine Wolfgang Amadeus Penguin! It remains a favorite of theirs. I am a HUGE Mannheim Steamroller fan, and this is one of my favorites. Chip Davis is definitely a genius."

Fun, interesting music

"We love this CD, with its variety of instruments and the animal noises. I used excerpts to supplement a Marine Life class that I taught for Pre/K children. My sons like to listen to the musician's interpretations of animal sounds and habitats. For example, 'Everglades' allows one to think an alligator is gliding silently through the water towards its prey."
