"I found this at first to be disappointing...kids singing Buffett. What gives? Why not Mr. Buffett himself? No warning on the label, nothing. Then, as I gave it to my singing 3 year old niece (to start her off right), it was a big hit. She asks constantly "Mommy, can we listen to Jimmy." Kids singing to kids, even though its to Buffett makes it what it really is, a great kids album. With 16 nieces/nephews, I'm only disappointed I couldn't buy it for more of them in their "formidable music years." Parakeets have been born in my family with the help of this music collection."

Fins up for this one!

"A lot of reviews have said how disappointing this cd is. Well, its not for adults, its for the children. I love to sit with my daughter and listen to the songs sung very well by these other children. It's very well done and allows us both to listen to something we like, and get her started into the parrothead life at a young age. This is a great present to buy yourself and your child or if you know a parrothead with children. What a fabulous idea to have kids sing these songs, it's excellent."

Are these Buffett songs ruined?

"On my first listen to this CD, I could not believe that someone would ruin a Buffett song on purpose! I figured I had wasted my money. I took it home and put in the CD player, my 12 month old LOVED it! She was bopping up and down and clapping to the songs! If she is happy with it, I can be too! Well worth the money for a small child, but a true parrothead will not enjoy it!"
