The Wiggles, that wacky, kid-wowing Australian outfit, welcome preschoolers for a lively, loopy musical fiesta with Toot Toot! Chiming in on this 23-track charmer of a dance- and sing-along are the usual wiggly suspects: Captain Feathersword relates how he loves to dance in his pirate pants on the spoken-word "Raincoat Story"; Henry the Octopus's "marvelous talent" for baking, roasting, and frying seaweed pies is celebrated on "Henry the Octopus"; and Henry's tireless tentacles also inspire the next get-you-moving tune, "Move Your Arms Like Henry." The gang drops in on Dorothy the Dinosaur on "Tell Me Who Is That Knocking?" Then rascally pup Wags gets down on "Wags the Dog, He Likes to Tango" (which, we're reminded, rhymes with mango). Mostly, this is silly, groove-along good fun, but the goofball foursome of Anthony, Murray, Greg, and Jeff also slip in a solidly educational number here and there: "Look Both Ways" drives home an important safety message for little pedestrians, and "John Bodlelum" and "I Climb 10 Stairs" reinforce recently acquired counting skills. As always, the Wiggles dish up a dose of Australianisms, but here they're easy to digest. Listening to "Food, Food, Food," curious kids who don't hail from Oz will want to know what paw-paws and rock melon are; chalk it up as a chance to turn a song they'll like into a foreign-culture learning experience, and keep on wiggling. --Tammy La Gorce

The Wiggles Yummy : Toot Toot! Reviews
| 29 of 31 people found the following review helpful  ???????, By This review is from: Toot Toot (Audio CD) I did a tour in Vietnam as a helicopter pilot. I day dreamed of a thick oniony burger at Tommy's in L.A., Ann Margaret's incredible legs, lot's of beer at a Red Sox-Yankees game, Ann Margaret's legs again.But I never once dreamt I would be dancing, thirty years later, with my two grandsons to "Wags the dog, he likes to tango" and "I climb ten stairs." Never. Rock on, my Australian brothers. Great stuff. I don't fully understand it, but I know it's great. 5 stars. Larry Scantlebury 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful One of the Wiggles Best CDs, By A Customer This review is from: Toot Toot (Audio CD) My son has always loved the Wiggles but this is by far his favorite Wiggles CD! Every single song has catchy lyrics and a really fun beat that keeps him singing and dancing throughout the entire CD. The songs also teach him things like crossing the street and numbers. And the CD doesn't get that annoying the tenth time in the car or at home as some of his other CDs tend to. 11 of 12 people found the following review helpful Toot, toot, chugga, chugga, By Elizabeth Bennett (Canada) - See all my reviews This review is from: Toot Toot (Audio CD) The Wiggles have their winning formula down-pat... every album is wonderful for kids and Toot Toot! is no exception. Danceable rhythms, fun lyrics, and kid-centred topics make this album a much requested one in our house. All of the Wiggle sidekicks are present: Dorothy the Dinosaur, Wags the Dog, Henry the Octopus, and zany Captain Feathersword. The Wiggles tend to take favourite songs and include them on more than one album (such as "Dancing with Wags the Dog")... of course, this familiarity just makes it easier to love a new album and is not a draw-back, in my opinion.The best part of this album is that now my two-year-old son skips to our car (which is a stationwagon and looks nothing like "The Big Red Car") singing "Toot, toot, chugga, chugga, big black car... travel near, travel far...". Terminally endearing. As are the Wiggles. You won't regret adding this to your child's collection. |
