My kids love music and in particular this CD. The music on this CD has a lot to offer. The CD offers both classical and instrumental songs to many vocal pieces. The vocal pieces offer genres ranging from classically trained female vocals (Part of Your World) to more Calypso oriented songs (Kiss the Girl and Under The Sea) sung by Sebastian the very sophisticated music composing crab.
We found the classical scores were great for the kids development as infants. As our kids have matured, they came to know and love the more vocally oriented songs. After years of listening our kids still enjoy this CD and we look forward to giving them the DVD as a holiday present.
What we like best about this CD is that the music is not nearly as annoying as the typical kids music. What's also nice is that form a development perspective, Alan Menken's (Producer) music is far more complex than the usual kids music.
