I had a chance to review this album, which has a wide variety of songs on it - avoiding bedtime, Monday morning at school, going out to an amusement park - and some very serious matters, like losing a friend or a parent. The song "Okay" was written right around the death of Eric's wife and co-writer, from the perspective of a child whose parent is gravely ill.Like most of my favorite kids' albums, this CD is musically diverse, with Latin, reggae, and more.
Eric Herman's songs and videos have been featured nationally on PBS KIDS, SiriusXM, The Today Show, Fox & Friends, and in the Warner Bros. film, Life As We Know It. A version of "The Elephant Song" was even covered for a multi-platinum release by Brazilian superstar Xuxa.
Previous releases by Eric Herman include his comedy sketch album, The Incredibly Spaced Out Adventures of Jupiter Jackson (2014, Parents' Choice Award), Party Animal (2014, NAPPA Award), What a Ride! (2009, Parents' Choice Award, NAPPA Award), Snail's Pace (2007, Pearl Award), Snow Day! (2006), Monkey Business (2005), and The Kid in the Mirror (2003).
