Title: Good for Parents; So-so for Kids
Review: Much of what is good about Harry Connick Jr.'s music--his unusual phrasing, his unique song stylings--works against this disk from a child's point of view as he alters some well-chosen material almost beyond recognition.My family (which includes five children, 4-14) listens to all kinds of children's music, and the kids would rate this near the bottom (though most have grown to like his version of "Oompa Loompa").My wife and I, who own several of Connick's other CD's, enjoy this disk. But it would get a lot more airplay in the minivan if it were sung with kids in mind.If he set out to create an album of children's songs for adult ears, Connick has succeeded. If you're looking for something the kids will enjoy, do a search of Tom Chapin's stuff (especially "My Hometown" and "Family Tree").
