Description: Once a year (twice if we're lucky) a kids' record that merits grown-up buzz reaches the bins--in 2004 it comes early. A World of Happiness is star-studded (Deborah Harry, Isaac Hayes, Samuel L. Jackson), loaded with wisdom, and follows a can't-miss formula established by its legendary 1970s forebear Free to Be You and Me. Simply put, there is much here to love: Lou Rawls' dreamy, soul-drenched title track, Illeana Douglas and Gary Oldman's cut-up "Just Ask," and Magic Johnson's ironic, perfectly paced tale of trumping the odds in "Little Me." These lessons land softly on growing ears--5- to 10-year-olds are the perfect targets, but older and younger kids will latch onto certain tracks too--and, like the 70s set it was modeled after, the CD leaves listeners in a place that feels safe and lit by inspiration. Count on it sounding right to more than a single generation, and to be among the few in your collection you try to protect when an over-eager handler has just put down her peanut-butter sandwich. --Tammy La Gorce

Reviews:

I Just Love It!

I bought this CD for my neice. She loves it! What I didn't expect was that I'd love it too. So I bought another just for me. Okay, so maybe it's not trendy to listen to a kids CD as an adult, but I don't care. Perry Farrell and Debbie Harry are just too cool!

Just amazing

This album is just full of joy. As a mother, I have found it so difficult to find quality material for my daughter. I figured there must be more then the teletubbies and Barney. That stuff is just terrible and a horrible influence on children. Now, with this CD, I finally have something for my child that is great fun to listen to and contains the positive messages I want my child to hear. Great music and amazing performances. Can't wait for the next one (will there be a next one?)

Not just for children!

Where else can you find original songs and poems performed by a diverse

cast of stars such as Deborah Harry, Perry Farrell and Samuel L. Jackson?

This immaculately produced album WILL appeal to parents as well as children.

"Just Ask" is a hilarious reminder for kids to do just that.

Other highlights include "The Possibilities", which boasts one of the best

tunes on the CD plus a beautiful string arrangement and vocals. Recommended!
