"Elizabeth Mitchell albums always make my little ones happy."
"I stumbled across this album while searching for another Brady Rymer album for my kids. You can listen to the samples and make your own decision, but I won't hesitate to recommend this album to my close friends, especially those with small kids."
"And then a little soothed, and then as the songs progress from "So Glad I am here" on to the Dancehall Jamaican version of the ABC's and Ooby Dooby and See Bo Diddly (to the tune of "I Want Candy by Bow Wow Wow), the driver stands a chance that the music will enchant the children enough to carry them away from fighting or squabbles or general discontent. If you are in your home, your child might ask for Ooby Dooby, or Skip to my Lou while they play with a favorite toy, and you might listen to them singing along with the songs, because they pull one in just that much."
