Music Review: Green Gorilla, Monster & Me

Have you heard of Ralph's World? Ralph's World CD's are created by musician Ralph Covert. He's a rocker (indie rocker according to his website) and he creates children's music as well as music for adults. I found this CD at a library book sale and brought it home. I don't recall every using Ralph's World music at storytime.

Green Gorilla, Monster & Me is one CD about of several from Ralph's World. I would only categorize one song on this CD as a movement song. The rest are family listening songs or background songs that can be enjoyed at home or in the car. For me, this wasn't a super CD, but maybe it will be for you! Give it a listen and let me know your thoughts.

You can hear song previews at Ralph's World. The CD's insert does not have the lyrics. It does list the songs, credits, thank yous, and Ralph's World albums. The album does not list the length of the songs, so I've added them to the track list below. In addition to the track title and time, I've added a couple notes from me. The italicized tracks were my favorites from Green Gorilla, Monster & Me.
