No stranger to the realm of children's records, They Might Be Giants have seen success with their CD No! and the book-and-CD combo Bed, Bed, Bed. Their latest CD, Here Come the ABCs, offers up 25 alphabetically themed songs. However, as is their charming way, the two Johns (Flansburgh and Linnell), use the letters as merely the connective tissue, allowing them to pursuit intriguing flights of fancy that consider everything from the relative power of letters and sounds to animal hijinks. Just as they've always done, there are wistful ballads and high octane rockers. TMBG have always been a family-friendly band, and this disc works just fine for adult fans, who can rightfully consider this simply their newest release. --David Greenberger

- Stop thinking and just buy it!
My 2 & 5 year olds absolutely LOVE this.The songs and video are very unique and fun!Seriously, stop thinking and just buy this!
Rating: - Excellent kids CD/DVD set!
Positively one of the best CD/DVDs for kids.The songs are fun but not cutesy and trite. Animations are fun with bright colors and fun characters.Celebrates children being children - lots of imaginative nonsense - which is exactly what they need!
Rating: - The Strangest and Best Gift Our Sons Got
I always liked TMBGs, and my college band opened for them once a LONG time ago, but I never thought of them as making music that would appeal to children.A college friend gave us this DVD when our oldest was born, and after watching it once my wife and I said to each other "no child would ever like THAT".We could not have been more wrong.Our kids know the words to every song, and demand to play it over and over again on long car rides.It's a quirky, fabulous, rockin' little disc.If you ...

- Horrible!Nothing like the 1,2,3s
My husband and I love,love,love Here Come the 1,2,3s...oh, and our 8 month-old digs it, too.That is why we decided to buy this DVD, but we were SOOOOOOOOOOOOO disappointed.Ugh--the sounds are irritating and the lyrics are not creative at all. If I had bought this one first, I wouldn't have bothered with the second one.This one hardly has any of the energy of the other. If you are looking for a good one, look to the 1,2,3s.

- Not worth it.
Wasn't the best cd and/or dvd for teaching my two year old the alphabet or letters. No real focus or theme just random selection and emphasis of certain letters.
