They Might Be Giants (or they might be toddlers)
Thanks to local mama & reader Laura Berkebile for sharing another stellar music recommendation for young kids: Here Come the ABCs by They Might Be Giants.
Laura says, "We listen to it all the time and it definitely surpasses the standard kiddie sing-a-long. The dvd is really cool, too. Teaches the kids ABCs. I'm sure you can buy the music on iTunes, and I know Netflix rents the dvd."
I'm really glad to have this tip. At our house we're already way into another They Might Be Giants kid CD. Titled, appropriately enough for toddlers, NO! We've had it since Ava was a tiny newborn, and it was some of her first favorite music. It's great to know that TMBG has another something out there.
Most of us (or shall I say those of us who are old enough and formerly cool enough) remember They Might Be Giants as the quirky, hyper-literate New York alt-pop guys who did the "little birdhouse in your soul" song. (You know the one!) Now they're allegedly all grown up - still in New York, still making records, but they've spawned a few smallheads of their very own. And some witty, listenable tunes.
