Bought this CD for my grandson. He’s an 8 year old, already game saavy, California Kid. My concern was that it would be too babyish. When talking to him about all kinds of music, I asked him if he listened to the CD I had sent him. He said “I listen to it all the time Grandma, it makes me happy inside”. What better endorsement?

I bought this CD for my 6-year old son after reading many positive reviews, and he loved it! I have since purchased it as a birthday gift for a number of friends’ kids. The songs are upbeat, and the lyrics are fun. My son’s favorite song is “when the alarm clock rings”.

My granddaughter played this on her portable cd player as we fell asleep in a motel room on a recent trip. I LOVED it and am ordering it for another family of grandchildren. The lyrics are fun for adults and children alike and the music is sophisticated enough for adults to enjoy. “My Favorite Jeans” is one we can all identify with.

I bought this for my grandkids — I’ve seen TFIA many times live before I had grandkids. Couldn’t wait for my daughter to get busy so I’d have a reason to buy the CD.

Trout Fishing in America – a very strange name for a great band for kids and parents. Big Round World is an album filled with catchy tunes that will stay in your brain. Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks is my grand-niece’s, and my, favorite tune.
