"We have almost all of the Wiggles CDs so I think I'm becoming a resident authority these days! We never grow tired of them and my little one requests them all the time and this one is no different. It's funny to hear a two-year-old say "Hoop De Doo!" The video that coincides with this is really great. The first time I put it in and hear the title track, I said to myself, "there's no way they're in there doing a polka!" Well, guess what? They were! These guys are so silly but teach such great things to kids. This one has a Scottish wedding song on it called "Marie's Wedding" (pronounced Mah-ree [sounds like Murray] in Australia whereas we would just say Marie), which is really neat and exposes kids to other English-speaking cultures. I love that. Not to mention all the different music styles in this one. I personally love the drum solo in "Wiggly Party."



This CD and video is the one to get if you're doing a Wiggles Birthday party. It has all the party songs on it and on the DVD, "Wiggly Party: has a ton of balloons that are released during the song and that's really neat for kids to see during a party. But honestly, "Captain's Magic Buttons" is worth the cost of the cd by itself. My husband almost has a doctorate in music and he has to replay that song over and over again he likes it so much! You have to get the video to see what they did to the song "Caveland." It is fully animated and just so very, very cute. I've never seen anything like that one. "Run Around, Run, Run" teaches kids how to sing and listen to music in a round, and "Wobbly, Wobbly Dance" teaches a bunch of coordination. Another favorite is "Move Like an Emu." This cd keeps my litte one dancing a bunch in his carseat and it will definitely entertain toddlers everywhere. And, if you ever get to see the Wiggles live, it's awesome to see what they do with some of the songs on this album. Great stuff - you can't go wrong with this one and it makes a great gift. Educational and fun!"

Intelligent, well put together music for kids

"Songs your toddlers and kids will love! My 8 month old goes quiet when I play this in the car (stops crying), my 3 year old sings along and has figured out the words before I even did. Dublin's Zoological Gdns, La Cucaracha, Hoop De Doo, Marie's Wedding...my older daughter is a big wiggles lover and she doesn't care if the songs aren't on the shows she's seen. It's intelligent music with excellent lyrics that kids can dance to."
