10th Ann. Blues Biggest Hits [Enhanced, Compilation]

The best part of this CD are the well-kown songs such as "Play Blue's Clues," "Mailtime," and "So Long Song," although I would have prefered "Mailtime" not to have Steve talking throughout it.

One of my favorites is the planet song - that would have helped me remember them when I was a kid...glad they kept Pluto for the time being.

My son and I take a lot of long road trips (Michigan to Rapid City, SD for instance), and this CD helps keep the peace: my son is entertained, and I don't go crazy.

If your child enjoys other Nick Jr. shows as well, they might like Nick Jr.: Winter Wonderland.

"Blue's Biggest Hits" is an album release for the tenth anniversary of the program featuring some of the show's best songs. There are a few songs that are recycled from past albums. However, most of the songs are new, and those that aren't generally have extended material.

This album features a mixture of songs with Joe and Steve, as well as a couple with neither. "Blue's Clues Theme Song" is the "Another Blue's Clues Day" theme heard during the fifth and sixth seasons of the show. I believe this is the first time it's been available on any album. There's a new version of the "Planets" song on here as well --- who knows if it would have been included if this CD had come out just a bit later, with the recent news of Pluto's disqualification as a planet. Other noteable tunes include "Alphabet Song" (and this is hardly any old "A B C... next time won't you sing with me), "Silly Hat," (incredibly fun) and "Glasses" (a short but fast and fun tune from "Magenta Gets Glasses.")

This album features great artwork on both the from and back covers and liner notes. It also comes with a CD-ROM bonus --- "The Magic of Blue's Room" video. This sounds like it might be a behind-the-scenes featurette. It's not, but it's still pretty nice. It's a music video, approximately two minutes long, set in Blue's Room. It features Blue, Joe, and Sprinkles (a new character), as well as the other characters from the playroom.

This album is a must for any Blue's Clues fan. The song selection and overall sound quality is excellent.

Every time I put this CD in the stereo my daughter runs to the T.V. The beginning of the CD sounds just like the beginning of the show. It has lots of fun songs on it. It is a big hit. I like it because the TV isn't gluing my daughter to the couch and she loves the songs.
