Hip music for kids and their parents
Date - November 29, 2008
"How could we ever begin to thank you for bringing excellent childrens' musicians like Justin Roberts, Ralph Covert and the Waco Brothers into our lives?! We never though tunes for kids could be so hip. And this is the truth...my husband plays it on his iPod while walking the dog!
We've also subscribed to the Nodcast!!
Yay!
Thank you!

"I baught this CD for my 2 year old son to listen to while he was playing. It is a HIT! He particulary loves the "Yellow Bus" song (aka Yeyyow Bus). As for me, I just love "Ladybugs' Picnic". Beutifully sung songs and fun for the whole family. Get this CD, you will be happy you did."

Fun Music
Date - November 18, 2009
"I originally purchased this CD because I recognized Dan Zane's "All Around the Kitchen" and knowing my son loved that song when he heard it played on Noggin. After listening to the whole CD, the songs are catchy, we did recognize a few more, and it's great music to have on while you're playing at home with your kids."

Great to Sing Along WIth!
Date - October 20, 2009
"This is a fabulous buy that creates a great opportunity to interact with your child on a long car ride. The songs are short enough to keep the attention span of a toddler and easy enough to remember the words. My son loves the upbeat music and I often find him dancing away in his car seat.
A wonderful stocking stuffer - or gift for just about any child!"

"I love this album! It was given to my son on his second birthday and a year and a half later it is still one of our favorites. And we bought Volume 2 for Christmas! I highly recommend both Vol. 1 & Vol. 2. I will buy Vol. 3 if they make one!"

"Can't get enough of this CD. When my son was a little younger, this was the only thing that would sooth him on car trips. Fortunately he now enjoys car trips, but we still enjoy listening to the CD."

"This CD led us to find several kids' musicians whom we love, specifically Ralph's World and Elizabeth Mitchell. The retro Guthrie songs are a nice change of pace."

Enter Nod's Best Kids Music CD Volume 1 and you'll find yourself dancing "all around the kitchen, cockadoodle doodle doo" along with your joyful toddler! This compilation includes clever, insightful & melodic tunes -- such as 'Ladybug Picnic', 'Where Do They Make Balloons?' and 'Sherm the Worm'. For families who like to groove together, this CD is a must-have!"

"It's quite possible that my husband, parents and myself enjoy singing and dancing to this CD just as much as our 16 month old son! I have been searching and searching for music for him for many months without success, until I found this one at the Land of Nod. It's full of happiness! The ability to listen to each song on the website was incredibly helpful as well."
