They Might Be Giants

This album features songs all about science, from the first song about how science is real (a thinly veiled attack on creationism?), to ones that provide information on how things work, such as aspects of the human body. What I like about this album is that the songs manage to be educational and entertaining at the same time. Some of the scientific terms may be a little beyond early elementary school students, but I think kids can learn what these words mean through the songs. I can see how a parent may get tired of listening to some of these songs on repeat; for example, The Blood Mobile is interesting and silly, but I think I'd get tired of it if I had to listen to it multiple times. This is a great album to give any child interested in science or the human body.… (altro)
