"Funny and resonant at the same time, Jonathan Sprout's lyrics join his can't-help-humming-along music in songs that will make you want to be a kid again."

Jeanne Kramer, General Manager

"A great album for both young ones and parents - useful in class, too. Excellent catchy tunes and great lyrics as well as Jonathan's strong tenor voice make this a favorite...You won't find a better example of high consciousness, high energy children's music."
