Here Comes Science

Here Comes Science
by They Might Be Giants

Three-Year-Old: Thumbs Up
Mom: Thumbs Up

Summary: This is a music CD (and DVD with music videos), not a book, but I like it so much I figured I would branch out.  The CD includes songs for kids about all different science concepts including the solar system, cells, velocity, and photosynthesis.  And yes it is the same They Might Be Giants that we know and love.

Review: My son loves the music (and the videos).  Today, he was riding his scoot bike singing about velocity.  It made me smile from ear to ear. On other occasions, I've heard him singing about the planets, cells, and the elements.   I get a lot of kids' music CDs from the library, and frankly, most of them just make me want to pull my hair out while running out of my house screaming.  This CD is so different.  I actually like the songs and catch myself singing the tunes to myself.  I have even learned a handful of things.  For example, I didn't know that plasma is the state of matter on the sun or that Ceres is a dwarf planet in the astroid belt.  Maybe this speaks to the shortcomings of my education, but alas - all the more reason for both my son and I to have fun while learning.
