Schoolhouse Rock: Multiplication Rock

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Mathematics is a particularly sensitive educational area in the United States (and, for that matter, the world in the digital age). This set is tremendously simplistic but appropriately so, rooting through numerical issues but also introducing the gist of so many "story problems" that kids have encountered since at least the 1970s. The music has a distinctly '70s feel, sounding a touch like Paul Simon backed by some more-staid offshoot of the Staple Singers. "Ready or Not, Here I Come" is a rambling blast, shuffling quickly and soulfully and showing the depth of jazz vocal veteran Bob Dorough's command of language and rhythm. Things are spry--maybe a bit too much--but single-digit kids (mostly the 4-and-over range) will catch the snappy groove easily and ask for more. --Andrew Bartlett

Don't Pay the High Prices.......2007-03-11

I LOVE THIS CD. However, this is completely ridiculous that there is such a market for this cd and they won't release it again. FIGHT BACK! Refuse to pay this. I'll tell you how to make your own--I bought the DVD set and there are programs on the internet that enable you to get the music off of DVDs. It was easy. DO IT YOURSELF!

Awesome CD !!!!!!!!!!!!.......2006-01-27

i grew up watching schoolhouse rock reruns on abc. i will never forget how much i enjoyed them. i love the songs and they are so catchy that kids don't even realize they're learning. i highly recommend this cd for children in 1st to 5th grade. this cd has my favorite schoolhouse rock song of all times LITTLE TWELVETOES witch is why i purchased it in the first place. i am totaly satisfied with it. i hope you will love it as much as i do[...]

classics that still sound good to me, almost 30 years later.......2004-06-16

i love this stuff, and my kids do too. genuinely good songs played and sung well. one nitpick: why is 'my hero zero' in the middle, instead of at the top? don't make no sense in the middle.

but who cares? buy this cd.

Great Math choice, along with the new SCRIPTURE Rock.......2003-04-25

The math disc is very useful for children's education.
Also, I just found exactly what I was looking for - a disc called *Scripture* Rock.
The spiritual learning with the general skills is a powerful combination.

Multiplication ROCKS!.......2003-02-20

I love Schoolhouse Rocky as much as anyone, but I am feeling a little ambiguous about this CD. I purchased it for my daughter to help her with her multiplication, and wouldn't you know it? She took the CD sleeve to school for a test and got caught cheating. Now I don't know if that was because the songs on this CD aren't as catchy to my daughter as they are to me, or if my daughter was simply being lazy. Either way, Multiplication Rock hits its intended target.
