Arthur's Perfect Christmas
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Arthur, the adorable aardvark who aims to be all things childlike, delivers a predictably light but fun multicultural collection of seasonal songs, snippets, and the occasional humorous asides from his sister, D. W., and his friends about the holidays. Celebrating Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Santa Lucia, and even "Baxter Day," these PBS mainstays cover just about all the bases while making merry and holy on such popular hymns as "We Three Kings" and on such secular chestnuts as "Jingle Bells." Original tunes such as "I'm Not Scared of Santa" (sung by Binky) and Muffy's "What's the Use of Presents?" make Arthur's Perfect Christmas pretty close to perfect--even if D. W. does a goofy reading of "The First Noël." --Martin Keller

Music in Opening Song.......2005-12-31
The music in the opening song, "Perfect Christmas," at least initially, is Pachebel's 'Canon'. Arthur plays it on the piano before launching into a jazzier tune that I believe is original.
Good story, great music.......2005-12-16
A fun and musical way to teach kids a little about others' holiday traditions. More subtly, the story teaches tolerence and acceptance. Arthur and his crew serve as great role models for today's kids! Did anyone ever relate to Steve what the music is in the opening song? I'd like to know as well.
Perfect Christmas Album for Kids.......2005-10-14
There's no question that content of any children's music or video needs to be held to a higher standard, and Arthur rates tops for both the movie and this CD. The music is great -- very singable and creative, a great mix of Arthur (like DW's goofy misinterpretations) and traditional. What I love about this album is that there really is something for everyone. There's a mix of traditional Santa songs, Nativity songs, a fabulous song about Kwanzaa, a nice mix of Spanish, French and Swedish traditional songs and some well done Hannukah songs. Every child's holiday album should aspire to the fun and far-reaching favorites that Arthur's album achieves!
Not really a review but a question.......2004-12-24
Does anyone know the name of the "music" that is used in the opening song.
Nice Album.......2004-02-23
Nice Soundtrack. That's all I have to say. 2-thumbs up!
