FOR THE KIDS

Gates, T. & Jowett, M. (Producers).(2006). For the kids. Vancouver, BC: Nettwerk

Summary
This album is a collection of 16 kids songs; the songs range from classic children's songs, such as Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Sing to fabulous new originals that are sung by some of today's finest rock artists.

Review
Listening to this album made me smile. It is warm, welcoming and fun to listen to. Sarah McLachlan imitates Kermit the Frog when singing the classic muppet show song, Rainbow Connection, Tom Waits sings a crooning blues tune, and Billy Bragg and Wilco get creative with  My Flying Saucer. 


The quality of the musicians and the sound recording make this an especially special children's musical album. I would highly recommend this album for anyone wanting to introduce their children to great modern musicians, new songs, and of course, adaptations of old favorites.

Age Range - 0-adult
