Andy does grassroots kids ministry so it seems churlish to report this album is seriously substandard. But it has to be said that the production is so painful that even excellent drummer Dez Mintoo cannot save it. There are some good song ideas, "The Camel Song" (based, loosely, on Luke 18:18-25) is fun for instance, but the high cheese keyboards and not always musical vocals make this a kids project that even though all profits are going to The Toybox Charity few but Andy's most loyal supporters will be shelling out for.

If only my 5 year old was able to write her own review, she would tell you how much she loves this. A great collection of engaging, worshipful and bible-based songs.

I also think the reviewer has got it wrong. This is fantastic music for children (and their parents) with thoroughly Christian content. This CD along with Andy's next work, the equally good 'You Could Fly To the Moon', is never long out of our CD player in the home and in the car. Faithfulness to the Bible throughout and some catchy tunes make this a great tool to hide His Word in our hearts. Our family is looking forward to the next CD soon to be released entitled Life Builder.

Unfortunatly Tony seems to have missed the point of this record. OK it's not Arcade Fire but then again if you want great adult records there is no shortage of them out there . I say thank goodness for people like Andy Gawn who are committed to the God's word and to the kids that he writes these tunes for... I suggest Tony you put on a copy of the Beatles White album if you want great music. But if you want your kids to enjoy singing along to faithful bible based songs look beyond the production and get them a copy of this record.
