Not for my 2 year old

2008-10-08
We bought this combo pack as well as the comes the ABCs cd/dvd pack. Found the CDs overrated. The DVD is still OK, our son watched it somewhat, (since we did not have his regular programs... so he sat for the animations) (though we both found it real annoying, though it was little better than ABCs dvd). The CD however is a different story....our son starts crying whenever we put this CD on. I think the words are overshadowed by the loud music and he prefers less overcrowded music or simpler cleaner music. It might be a good CD for some kids or mebbe even the older kids... but my 2 year old can't stand it !! Same goes for Here comes the ABCs.

That being said, since each kid has his own likes and dislikes, you might be the other half who likes it ! To give a background my son positively adores Jim Gill's (sneezing song and other contagious tunes), and 101 toddler favourites (4 CD pack by Music for little people).... we have had endless road trips just because of these life savers (though as parents,we ended up with a headache hearing them far too many times). So if your toddler has the same interests..you know 123s pack/ABCs pack is NOT FOR THEM.

OMG TMBG YES!

OK, so I'm a fanboy.

For parents like me, this is a can't miss. Just enough of a hint of the vaguely misanthropic humor from Flood, catchy dance tracks like Apollo 18, and the consistently idiosyncratic vocal stylings of John and John.

For other parents, it's fun, vaguely educational, and at 2:40 a track, it will keep the shortest attention span very happy...and my kids really like it.

But I like it even more.

Love it!

This is by far one of the most enjoyable things the kids and I can listen to in the car. I love the fact that they don't realize they're learning. It's a great CD that I recommend to anyone with kids.

My Kids Love It!!!

Wonderful! I have 2 kids under 4 yrs. They both sing along and enjoy the quirky video. Very fun.

2-year-old LOVES the JOHNS!

My 2-year-old daughter loves these songs and videos. She used to be afraid of the yellow puppets representing the Johns between videos, but once I explained to her who they were and that they sang the songs she loved, she warmed to them. Now she lovingly requests them "Johns!" and sometimes wants me to skip past a song to get to the between song puppet piece.

Great songs; much better than ABC's. A great album.

Great CD! My 3 year old loves it!

My 3 and 5 y.o. LOVE it!!!! So do I, I find myself humming the songs throughout the day. It's a great combination of kid music with a grown-up funky beat. I almost forget it's meant for my kids.

Choc full of TMBG goodness! 2008-09-10
I'm 17, and I listen to this (and Here Come the ABCs) obsessively. Good for children, but also everyone else. They're just so catchy!

Kids LOVE it! 2008-09-09
My children love this video. It can keep them entertained even when nothing else can. My 4 year old is learning how to add because of some of the songs. Must have for long car rides too!
