Bon Appetit!: Musical Food Fun

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Part of what makes Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer, the Indigo Girls of the kids' music circuit, so successful (their last five albums have all received Grammy notice) is an aversion to biting off more than they can chew. So it goes with Bon Appetit, which follows the Fink/Marxer formula by deftly dipping into a range of genres that includes swing, samba, and show tunes and brightly making their points. "Water," we're told, is "like a washing machine/ It keeps the inside and the outside of your body clean." "Breakfast Power" rules, and germs have got to go. Bananas, potatoes, and big muscles also championed. In the end, thought, the track full of food jokes ("Why did the cookie go to the hospital? He felt crummy!") that takes the cake.(Winner of the 2004 Grammy for Children's Music) --Tammy La Gorce

Title says it all. I bought this to use with an ESL class.

only 1%????.......2006-08-16

I can't believe only 1% of people who look at this cd end up buying it. The other 99% are missing out. This is fun for grownups and kids, funny, and has a good message about healthy food. We'll listen to it nonstop for a while, then put it aside, but it keeps coming back into the pile, and we're always delighted when it does.

Great kids CD.......2006-03-30

I won this CD in a contest and was very sarcastic about my response, but the first time we popped it into the CD player, my 2 1/2 year old fell in love with it. It is mandatory car music now, both my girls love it. They are learning about nutrition in a fun way. I'm probably going to buy a 2nd one because they are wearing the first one out. =0)

Not too impressed.......2004-12-22

I bought this cd for Christmas, since our gift theme to our daughter is food. So we got a kitchen set, pretend food, books about food, CDS about food, i.e.
I was really excited to listen to the album, so we gave it to her early I was not impressed
nor was my 21 month daughter who generally dances and sings to anything. The overall album was slow and the songs were not very catchy. We much more prefer things like Ralph COvert, Dan Zanes, Toddler Sings Laurie and who-ever sings the Bad Mood Mom albuym. It is not awfulm but it is not great. And then will be copied to our MP3 player and then sold on ebay. If you want a much more catchy album about food check out Tom Paxton Fun Food Songs :-D

First heard on NPR and had to have it. If you want to expose your child (6 year old in our case) to a variety of musical styles in a fun way, this is IT. The first time she listened, she wouldn't stop. We had to delay bedtime (a good cause in our opinion).
GREAT FUN!!!!!!
