Product Description
Product Description
Tom Chapin, the younger brother of singer/songwriter Harry, has made a stealthy career out of creative children's music. He writes tunes that are lyrically charming, musically fetching, and altogether fun. Even with a string of recordings as impressive as his, Zag Zig is the best. It incorporates Chapin's fondness for intricate horn charts (on the Latin-tinged "Vitamin Si") and his quirky, memorably humorous lyrics on "Backwards Birthday Party." Best of all, the lyrics aren't simply silly: Each song passes on a narrative strand, however brief, that helps kids as young as 2 years old remember turns of phrase, development in a story, and more. --Andrew Bartlett

Not as good as other Tom Chapin tapes we have, Jan 12 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Zag Zig (Audio CD)
"Zag Zig" just isn't as good as the other two Tom Chapin tapes we own, "Family Tree" and "In My Hometown." The songs "Vitamin Si" and "R-E-C-Y-C-L-E" are the only real standouts on "Zag Zig," in my opinion. I'd be hard-pressed to choose only two favorites from the other two tapes I mentioned. If you are new to Tom Chapin, go for "Family Tree." I think it's one of the best children's tapes I've ever heard.

First Rate in Sing-Along Kids Songs, Jan 22 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Zag Zig (Audio CD)
We've had this CD for about 4 years, and still listen to it in the car. Most every song is a great sing-along for kids and adults alike. One of our very faves is Bruno's Christmas On The Mall. What an adventure! You will not be disappointed with this CD, and your kids will love it. Backwards Birthday Party, Vitamin Si, Best of Companions are other great ones. The only ones we don't care for too much are the last 2, but the Grand (or Great-Grandparents) will like the Ragtime Dance. We will probably buy more CDs by this not quite as famous brother of Harry.
