snapping and singing along." - Los Angeles Jewish Journal

This is a fantastic album, chock-full of great tunes and production,
with lyrics that sometimes speak directly to kids' daily lives and other
times fire their imaginations. It'll make you smile and make you think.
... on my short list of favorite albums for 2007. Highly recommended.

refreshingly original." - Parentmap magazine
