Evaluation comments:
“On his first full-length album since 2018, the award-winning children musician Andy Z delivers an excellent collection of songs that covers many moods and occasions. It begins with the wonderful “Song For My Baby,” a jazzy tune expressing parents’ love of their child, and ends – quite appropriately – with a quiet song for sleep time, “Lullabye.” In between there is a lot of music that will engage youngsters in a variety of ways and interests. Some numbers that are full of goofy fun, like “Down By The Bay,” “Spider On The Floor,” and the counting tune “Five Green and Speckled Frogs.” “Apples” is a humorous ode to the fruit that takes a zany twist (that I won’t spoil). “Good Morning,” “Ooga Booga,” and the title track are all songs that inspire interactivity. “Buzzabee” and “Knees Up Mother Brown,” similarly, are lively dance-along tunes, while “Hurry Hurry Drive The Fire Truck” will get kids moving too. “Flutter Flutter, Butterfly” and its Spanish version, “Mariposa Vuela” offer lilting salutes to beautiful butterflies, and the Mr. Rogers’ song “Tree, Tree, Tree” stands as a heartfelt tribute to trees. “It’s Not Your Fault” is a standout track that delivers its “don’t carry blame on your shoulders” message through a moving folk-rock melody that will connect to listeners of all ages”
