They Might Be Giants are like the handful of best-selling authors who also happen to be doctors or astrophysicists: They do two things so well--in their case kids' music and grown-up music--that it seems a little unfair, like the talent scale has been tipped too hard in their favor. Like Here Come the 123s, the follow-up to 2005's Here Come the ABCs, and TMBG's third kids' record. Here the Johns--Linnell and Flansburgh--are up to their usual smart shenanigans: In "Seven," a bunch of skinny numerals crash a stranger’s living room before settling in for some cake, and in "Nine Bowls of Soup" an ichthyosaur is so enamored of soup he works out a way to balance a multitude of bowls on his scaly body. The brilliance isn’t limited to the lyrics. The Johns know a thing or 1-2-3 about crafting seriously jammable music. Highights include “High Five,” a flippy, freewheeling dab of disco, and “One Everything,” a juiced-up, jangly rocker with a message for listeners ages 3 to 93: an untidy room actually is an insult to the omniverse. --Tammy La Gorce

Great For Kids!! One of Our Favorites!! August 20, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
We received this DVD/CD last week and the kids have been watching it over and over. Normally, I'd find this obsessive behavior concerning, but the educational quality of the video makes this one of the best DVD's I've seen for children. My kids are ages 6 & 8 and the video is geared so that both of them benefit from the lessons.
We really liked Here Come the ABCs [CD/DVD Combo], but we think this one is actually better. The music is well-composed and shows a great deal of musical sophistication underneath the silliness, playing with different musical styles and time signatures. The instructional value for the overall DVD is exceptional. My only complaint is that I can't get several of the tunes out of my head! Your kids will soon know that there are, in fact, animals with three eyes and be able to correctly identify a nonagon. Excellent video! I give it my highest recommendation.

We love this DVD and CD. My son is already doing addition problems from watching this video. We watch it in the car and everyone enjoys the lyrical masterings of They Might Be Giants. My husband and I loved them before they did kids music, and we love them even more now!
TMBG rocks! July 16, 2008
My son cannot get enough of this CD/DVD combo. It's the first thing he asks for when he wakes up. It's really helping him learn to count and he's only 18 mos. old! The songs are really catchy and adults will completely love this too.
Everyone loves They Might Be Giants! August 1, 2008
I was so excited to hear that TMBG is doing children's music. I listened to them in college and high school and loved their quirky
sense(s) of humor. The tunes are really catchy and fun. My very musical 3.5 and 2-year-old girls love this DVD/CD combo. I would highly recommend this for all babes and toddlers.
Kid Music You Will Love - TMBG Rocks Again August 2, 2008
I must admit, my husband and I are long-time TMBG fans (since the 80s), but with this CD they score again - these guys just rock with creativity! This is a wonderful CD - muscial, playful, educational - our daughter can't get enough. The songs get her dancing in her carseat, singing, and thinking/asking quesitons. This is the kind of music that when you drop your kids off at school, you don't rush to switch off the cd and turn on the radio when you get back in the car. You happily get these songs in your head. For Playhouse Disney viewers, you will recognize a great deal of these songs from the video shorts that have aired. We like this the best yet of all of TMBG's "kid" offerings.
