While this might appear to be a recording for children, it charted No. 1 in Rolling Stone's Top 40 Albums the week of its release (issue of 3/9/06). Certainly the music has great charm for this adult listener, and others too if word of mouth can be trusted. Some of the song titles point to kid-friendly content, but a track such as "Wrong Turn" could easily be about an adult relationship, and even capture a fragile moment in that relationship better than most songs for grownups.
