Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: Of the many remarkable things about the follow-up to 2002's For the Kids CD, maybe most remarkable is its daring. Here's a disc with a spirit of adventurousness. Instead of relying on a parade of star power for its swagger (and its sales figures--Sarah McLaughlin, Tom Waits, and Barenaked Ladies went a long way toward explaining the success of the first installment), Too! plucks from an indie playing field that appeals with a below-the-radar, bubbling-under kind of cool. To that end, San Francisco-based acoustic idol Matt Nathanson gamely covers Prince's whimsical "Starfish & Coffee," Canada's Paper Moon memorably asks that you check your "Attitude Toward Cuttlefish" at the door, and Shivaree gets your house party (or car-seat party, or playroom party) shaking, in its somnolent way, with "Everybody Came." A sprinkling of big names--They Might Be Giants, Matthew Sweet--stud the proceedings, but mostly this disc is about discovery. It's also about good deeds: Where the first disc benefitted VH1's Save the Music Foundation, proceeds from Too! go toward the Lili Claire Foundation, which helps those born with neurological disorders. -Tammy La Gorce

Customer Reviews
Fair
Some songs are great - like the Hoppity Song! Others are for adults, not kids.

Wonderful!
I love this CD as much as my kids. I even listen to it when the kids aren't in the car. Highly recommend. The artists are cool and a tiny bit edgy (compared to someone like Raffi) so I feel like its a good intro to great music.

Music that we sing and dance to
After getting the first CD and loving it, and then getting the second CD because of all the great reviews on Amazon, I have realized it was a smart move. Me and my daughter enjoy the majority of the songs, singing and dancing to them every time the CD's playing. I love the lyrics and music. It's kid's music that I can enjoy too.

It's different different different, no CD like this ...
This is a bit more quirky and a little less rocking (no "snow day" or "hoppity song") than the first album but we've (two adults, four kids from 2 to 10) grown to love it. There are many great songs and we do like the new version of Rainbow Connection although it would have been nice to have more variety. "John Lee Supertaster" is from They Might Be Giants' "NO!" album and, for us (having the album), it seems out of place here.
We highly recommend this album. Now if I could only get the "Meow Meow Lullaby" out of my head ...

Love the Meow Meow Song!!!
I was cruising the iTunes store on my iPhone and typed meow in the search box for no reason and came across this cd and the Meow Meow Lullaby song by Nada Surf and loved it. I started to listen to the other tracks and was hooked. Very cool and fun music that works for both children and adults with no worries of throwing the cd through the window because of some annoying voices coming at you. ;)
