Blue's Clues - Blue's Big Treasure: A Musical Adventure [Soundtrack]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
There can't be more than a handful of parents around who aren't already familiar with the concept behind Blue's Clues, arguably the most popular children's show of the late 1990s. For those that aren't, here's the scoop: a cast of computer-animated characters, led by the blue dog of the show's title, populate an equally animated universe. Blue's human, Steve--the one nonanimated cast member--is the show's slightly dimwitted host. Each episode revolves around Steve's attempt to decipher a trio of clues to figure out what Blue wants to do that day; what makes the show so popular is that the audience is not only invited to participate but is inevitably given enough information to come to the right answer before Steve does. In porting the concept over to an album, the producers had to make some adaptations, but it works remarkably well: the first half involves finding Blue's three clues, and most of the Cajun-flavored music is already familiar from the show. There are a few fun touches (including a brief dance remix), and fans of the show--your kids are sure to fit in that category--will love it. --Randy Silver

We love it!.......2002-01-26

Although we have been listening to this CD every time we are in the car (this CD and Blue's Big Musical CD are the only CDs my 2 year old son will listen to)for the past two months--we love it! I can't decide who enjoys it more--me or my son! While many kids' CDs are painful for the parents to listen to, this one keeps getting better and better (as does Blue's Big Musical). I highly recommend it!

Outstanding Kids Cd! Best of the Blue's Clues Titles.......2001-12-09

My 2 year old son has all 4 Blue's Clues cds and he like this one the most. The songs make him get up and dance, and the lady who plays the part of grandma sounds like the singer, Jewel. She has a very pretty voice. The only Blue's Clues Cd that I wouldn't necessarily buy again would be "Goodnight Blue". It's fine, but too slow...not upbeat enough for playtime. The other 3 Blue's Clues titles are superior to "Goodnight Blue" in my opinion. "Blue's Big Treasure" is our 1st choice of the 4 if you are purchasing your 1st Blue's Clues cd.

We just can't get enough Blue!!.......2001-11-16

My 2 year old son loves Blue and only Blue!! He also loves music, so when I came across the blue's clue's music, we couldn't resisit. We were not disappointed! I love the music as much as he does; I find myself singing along all time! The music is very well written and will keep even the pickiest parents jammin' in the car with their kids!! We also have "goodnight, blue" and it is wonderful, but beware: it makes even me drowsy when listening to it in the car!!

you can tell the Blue's team really likes kids.......2001-08-23

A lot of things are marketed to kids that aren't very good. In contrast, every product I have seen that ties in with Blue's Clues seems thoughtful, educational and of high quality -- the same goes for this CD.

Adaptations are made to play out a Blue's Clues game as an audio exercise rather than visually, and this is done in a clever way. All of the original series' voices are used, including Steve Burns and Traci Paige Johnson for Steve and Blue. Many of the series' characters make an appearance: Slippery Soap, Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper, Tickety Tock, Mailbox, and Shovel & Pail, among others.

With 12 songs, the CD is relatively short, but not overly so -- a good length for young children. In addition, the CD has a detachable section that folds out to about 11" by 11" and shows the outside of Steve and Blue's house; seven stickers are included (Blue, Tickety, Slippery, Shovel, Pail, Mailbox and a snail) that can be placed and replaced on the glossy surface. A nice touch from a class outfit.

As usual, a high quality product from the Blue's Clues team.
