  • Great for the Whole Family!
    author: Antoinette - Mom Of 3

    Finally, kids music that we can all listen to in the car! I find myself humming the songs even when I am not with my girls. I bought this album for my friends (and their kids). We all love it!

  • Wide appeal!
    author: Aunt of two

    What's fun is that Moeys Music Party connects with so many people of all age ranges - I find myself humming "I Can Do it!" when needing to get through a tough part of the day - thanks and big Judo Kick!

  • No Typical Kids Music!
    author: Amy Suardi

    Moey's music for kids (and parents) is like a mix between campfire sing-alongs, a favorite college band, and your beloved aunt playing guitar. Singer-songwriter Melissa Levis is extremely talented and in-tune with both what kids and parents dig. Moey's songs are infused with a silliness that makes you giggle, as well as helpful messages (about eating, going potty, getting dressed, etc.) that make you reach for the CD over and over. Moey's songs are sometimes raucous and sometimes tender, with themes that are both familiar (dads that shave, shower & go to work) and exotic (sushi, New York city). Both you and your kids will fall in love with the lightheartedness and smarts of Moey's Music Party!

  • Me & My Mom
    author: Anna Maida

    This amazing album is a part of our daily activities! Whether we are preparing for bedtime with "Me & My Mom" to trying something new and need an anthem "I Can Do It" we just love Moey's music. We have been giving the CDs to our friends as birthday gifts and they love them! The songs are catchy, the lyrics and educational and the beat is catchy! The difference between this CD and the other children CDs that I have is that I enjoy it WITH them!

    This CD is the only chidlren's CD to which I can listen without needing earplugs. The tunes are catchy and music is great, but most of all, the messages are on point. Both of my sons (4 and almost 2) love it -- I think we've given it as birthday presents to all of our sons' friends.

  • ama-SING!!
    author: Naomi Szycer

    Ms. Moey's Music Party provides a refreshing and much needed new (heart)beat to the children's music industry. Every song has a different theme, tempo and energy that keeps your little ones amused and inspired. This is the kind of music that your kids won't just listen to... they will "run around, run around, run around the beat"! Ms. Moey - you ROCK!

  • Loving Moey's Music Party
    author: Susan Abramson

    WE LOVE THIS CD! My toddler jubilantly dances around while singing the lyrics to all the songs. As a parent I like it because many of the songs have a message. Our favorite is “New York City Kid” which captures the essence of this amazing city. Moey’s CD has become part of our daily routine. While I prepare dinner, I put on Moey’s Music Party and she happily becomes a jumping bean and performs!

    We love this album and listen to it all the time. We sing the catchy, lyrical songs really loud and have taught them to all the kids in our neighborhood here in Hong Kong. Moey is an international kid's music troubador and we can't wait for her next album. She's funnier then Dan Zanes and kookier then Laurie Berkner -she's her own very special blend and kids love her!
