As a parent, one of the qualities that I like most about Meltdown! is that it appeals to both the early childhood set and the older kids, too - so we are not quite sure which category to place it in. I know of five year olds who dance and sing along to these songs and I know, having watched my ten year old, that older kids pick up on the sometimes subtle humor and kid-based themes.
The music can't be beat, either. I wrote in my Chicago Parent review that I "feel the music is cranked up a notch. There is more instrumentation and interesting background vocals than on previous releases. It seems as though there was a conscious effort to rock a little harder." Age focus: 3-10.

I rarely hand out superlatives in my reviews but I felt no hesitation whatsoever when I proclaimed this CD to be "one of the best records I have heard for the 3-6 year old crowd." Few artists know the preschool and kindergarten child as well as Jim Gill. His knowledge about how young children learn and his experience with using music as a springboard for play come together in full force with Moving Rhymes for Modern Times.
If you listen closely you can hear and feel his passion for the importance of music play. Children simply respond to these well-crafted songs that are not only right on target with their developmental needs, but are musically sophisticated to a level seldom heard today.
Moving Rhymes for Modern Times is the complete package – clever and creative songs that are simple in nature but musically tasteful and very hip. Jim Gill is a unique talent with a commitment to doing what is best for children and our children reap the benefits of his dedication. Age focus: 3 – 6 years.

If you have ever been searching for CDs that support science concepts you may have noticed that there are quite a few out there. We have listened to most of them and that is why we were so excited to find out about Lucas Miller’s I Was A Supa-Dupa-Pupa. Finally a CD with meaningful earth science content presented with very musical production values – great songs and excellent musicianship. From the idea of “Living in Symbiosis” and “All About The Hive” to “Can You See The Connection?” and “A Deer In My Cadillac” kids will enjoy the hilarious lyrics, rockin’ grooves and accurate zoology. Age focus: 6 – 12 years
