Lots of Fun!, Mr. Greg’s Musical Madness

No Comments 12 March 2012

When we started Ruckus, we had an influx of CDs and Mr. Greg’s inadvertently got buried. During a road trip, we fished out a few fun-looking CDs and Lots of Fun! soon became a favorite. The lyrics are easy for a child to understand and sing along with (which is very important to my daughter!). […]

In a Big Warehouse, by Imagination Movers

No Comments 01 September 2010

No Comments 01 September 2010

Characters range from the sweet, such as a red bird and lightning bug, to the slimy, such as a toad, snail and slug. My 3-year-old loves every song. The title track is her favorite. “Slimy neighbors slinking by the front door […]

Take it Outside, by Okee Dokee Brothers

No Comments 01 September 2010

How about some “Bluegrass for Breakfast”? This album — full of banjos, fiddles and acoustic guitar — is high energy, catchy and educational. What’s the longest word in the English language? “Antidisestablishmentarianism,” of course. The Okee Dokee Brothers helpfully point out that it has 28 letters, more than the alphabet! And then another fantastic feat: […]

This is Fun!, by Caspar Babypants

No Comments 01 September 2010

Caspar Babypants sounds familiar because you’ve heard the singer before. Only then as the lead singer of The Presidents of the United States of America. Chris Ballew has put out his third album of catchy, upbeat children’s tunes. They’re reminiscent of the simplicity of his rock ‘n’ roll songs (think “Peaches”). In addition to originals […]
