Great Dino Songs for the Whole Family.......2001-08-07

This is a fabulous album for dinosaur fans of all ages. A pair of lively dinosaur dance tunes frame an album of largely lyrical songs that allow various dinosaurs to introduce themselves. Despite the title, this is Broadway, not Rock & Roll. (See "Dinosaur Rock" if you prefer real Rock & Roll.) In a style remniscent of "A Chorus Line" or "Cats," the album features surprisingly imaginative melodies and lyrics with a synthesized accompaniment. The lyrics make only fleeting reference to the more gruesome aspects of dinosaur life, making this album suitable for listening in mixed settings with younger children. With well-crafted, interesting songs in a nicely paced album, this is a CD your children can listen to over and over again without driving you nuts.

As a side bonus, listeners get some genuine education with these songs. From "thick-headed" Pachycephalasaurus to "Mother Maiasaura" gaurding her nest of Hadrasaur babies, the songs feature accurate descriptions of dinosaurs (based on current scientific knowledge) that easily complement information available in non-fiction dinosaur books available at any public library. It's an amazing treat -- a science lesson that comes on stage and sings to you. It's also just plain fun, with tunes you'll find yourself humming again and again.

Music for kids that doesn't drive the parents insane!.......2000-12-08

I bought this tape for my four year old because she is crazy about dinosaurs. As a four year old, she likes to hear her favorite music over and over...before bed, during our long drives in the car, etc. That means that I have to hear it as well. I am a singer with a trained voice and some of the kids music I have heard can make my skin crawl. This tape is the absolute exception! It is very well done and educational. My older children; ages 7, 9, and 13 enjoy it as well. But, they also loved the musical "Cats".
