Editorial Reviews
The School Library Journal, October 2005
"This clever and engaging collection would be a welcome addition for public libraries."

Product Description
Erin Lee & Marci's debut CD features 12 original songs and poems about the everyday events in children's lives. Each song has as its narrator a strong, self-assured child who offers an honest and often comical appraisal of the world around them - a world full of school, loose teeth, rainy days, haircuts, baseball, illness, non-traditional families, dinnertimes and sometimes even loneliness.

Erin Lee & Marci are joined by guest artist Jennifer Barnhart, who is best known for her role as Cleo Lion on the PBS children's show "Between the Lions". Ms. Barnhart can now be seen in the Tony-winning Broadway Musical "Avenue Q".

My son is obsessed.......2005-08-10

with this great CD. He's three years old, and can recite nearly every lyric. I think the real beauty of this album is that the words are totally intelligible to young children, and the concepts are ones that they can really relate to: cutting one's own hair, the thrill of riding a train, being lonely because no one's around to play, etc. Some of the more popular kids albums - many of which I love -- have sort of high-fallutin references that kids under age six simply don't get. If you have a young child (or an older one, for that matter), he or she will really get this album, and will probably beg you for it all the time. (This mom finds herself singing it in the shower, too!)

Music for the kid in all of us!.......2005-07-18

This CD is fantastic!!! My children's grandfather kept borrowing our car and we did not know why. Turns out.. he wanted to listen to Erin and Marci!!! For once someone has written music for "children" that adults can actually enjoy too! FANTASTIC!

My daughter loves it!!!.......2005-07-18

This CD hasn't been removed from our disc changer for months because I am still getting daily requests. My daughter loves and even sings the songs when it's not on! Soooo much better than a lot of other annoying kids cd's.

super kids' songs that their grown-ups will wanna play too.......2005-02-21

My kids love this album and request it all the time. Quirky, fun lyrics and a nice variety of tune genres (50's, country, klezmer, rockabilly, etc...) performed by two really great and versatile singers. Parents will like it lots too--nothing overly cutsey or preachy. Our favorites are "My Tooth is Loose," "The Haircut Song," and "I'm Sick." Great stuff!

A teacher's opinion.......2004-07-09

As an educator I find that my young students reach for this CD first! It is a classroom favorite!
