"The "Little Square Wheels" CD continues to be my 3 year old son's favorite. He asks to listen to it again and again. He often sings songs from the CD like "Do Your Motion" and "Mr. Trapezoid, We Think You're Fine" spontaneously while he's playing. The songs have catchy tunes and are about things important to the preschool age set, like taking turns and learning shapes. Doug Fleming's music is great because adults enjoy listening to it as much as the children do. We have shared this music with many of my son's friends and cousins, and they have all enjoyed it also."

Kids' music parents can enjoy too!!

"This CD is a "must have" for grandparents...and parents alike. At home it gets the little ones up and moving to the action songs, but it is also well suited to being played in the car, as the songs can be safely acted out from their carseats. Kids learn shapes like triangle, diamond, rectangle, oval and even the more sophisticated trapezoid ! "Elephante Marchando" even teaches a bit of Spanish. The tempos are lively and varied. Doug has succeeded in creating songs that kids thoroughly enjoy and adults won't mind having stuck in THEIR heads when the music stops. I especially like "Do Your Motion" which encourages children to be individuals and allows them to do whatever action THEY like best. And, with so much of our lives...whether you are young or old...being spent waiting in lines, Doug's song "Wait Your Turn" teaches a great lesson in patience. Then there is the title track "Little Square Wheels" getting us to think about the concept that square wheels cannot roll. I love every song on this CD. BOTTOM LINE: Buy this CD for every preschooler you know. I highly recommend it as a shower or baby gift. As a former educator, I am delighted when I find music that is fun but also teaches. I look forward to hearing more children's music from this artist."

Catchy tunes for the whole family!

"Finally! A kid CD that even the grown-ups enjoy listening to over and over again on a long road trip! The music is clearly made for kids, but it's not "syrupy" like so many other kid CDs! The lyrics are a lot of fun, and the catchy style of the tunes is reminiscent of the Beatles. "Wait Your Turn" and "Mr. Trapezoid" are two of my favorites because they present positive messages for the kids in a fun way. Of course, the kids just can't sit still whenever they hear "Do Your Motion"!"
