The Backyardigans: Born to Play

The release of any Backyardigans CD is a joyous event in my house. And finally, finally we get some songs from the Race Around The World episode. Unfortunately we don't get the extended version of Go Go Go, but at least a couple of songs that were notably absent from the first two CDs are included here. But there are still some songs excluded from this offering that would've improved it greatly. Huka Pele from The Legend of the Volcano Sisters, Steer Baby Steer from Cops and Robots, and Astronauts Never Give Up from Mission to Mars. Granted, this is my personal opinion, but it is a shame that these three songs are unavailable on CD. Instead this CD gives us a glut of songs from The Tale of the Mighty Knights, which are good, but are still inferior to the three songs mentioned above. Hopefully that will be corrected on a future release. And hopefully they won't take so long to get around to the next CD. My kids are almost 5 and 2 years old, It won't be all that long before they have outgrown the Backyardigans and I'll be forced to buy subsequent CDs strictly for myself.
