notes

"Best Music Gift of 1998"
- Sesame Street Parents Magazine

"Hands down the best made for children's record of the last two years!"
- St. Paul Pioneer Press

"Great Big Sun is directly responsible for some of the fondest memories I will have or our twin daughters' infancy. In fact, I'm so fond of [Great Big Sun] that I've played it for my own enjoyment when the girls were nowhere near."
- Lou Diamond Phillips, Film Actor

"Bursting with warmth, exuberance and humor, Chicago folk rocker Justin Roberts's children's album debut is a sheer delight.

  • First Justin Roberts CD and we love it!
    author: Susan K

    We were just introduced to his music at a recent concert in the Chicago area, and our family loves this CD. I even keep it on after the kids have fallen asleep in the car!

  • Great CD!
    author: Cathy

    We love this CD! We just bought 2 more copies for friends.

  • author: Nicole

    This is also the first Justin Roberts cd for us and we loooove it! Notably, my 2 year old was having a fit and instantly stopped when the first track started. It just makes everyone feel good.

  • Lots of fun
    author: Max V.

    This is our first Justin Roberts cd and we love it. My son enjoys it and so do the adults in the family. His lyrics are fun and sweet and we like to sing along. I highly recommend it.

  • The first = still great!
    author: Paul

    This, along with Yellow Bus, are the two CD's that I give to everyone who has a newborn as a gift. Everyone LOVES them!

  • fabulous!

    This is my gift of choice these days. We love it so much we want to share it with the world. Thanks Justin!

  • we love you, justin!
    author: Valerie Parham-Thompson

    We love Justin! Upbeat music even the mama loves. CDBaby.com got us his CDs on time, with great service. Thank you!!!

  • Can't stop singing these songs.
    author: Paul Cordero

    I didn't buy this CD for my kids (though they love it). I listen to it myself because of the great melodies, lyrics, guitar and fun. Justin Roberts captures perfectly what it means to be a kid, as well as the memories I will have as a parent. Please keep 'em coming!

  • Excellent recording for kids and parents too!
    author: Jill DC

    My family already purchased this CD at a Justin Roberts show, and just purchased another for a gift. This music is well-liked by kids... and parents. It isn't the kids music that drives the parents crazy (ie: Chipmunks). The lyrics are thoughtful and insightful, and targets what kids are thinking about. We love it. ALSO: huge praise for CD Baby! The CD arrived amazingly quick and the communication was frequent and entertaining. Keep it up!

  • nothing but praise
    author: Rose Hutten

    Great Big Sun arrived here in Nova Scotia only 3 days after ordering and now only a week later the songs are memorized. I run a family childcare in my home with lots of preschoolers and they tell me they "need" this CD on. Thanks so much for something unique, fun and filled with talent. Noone has heard of you here, please inform local music stores in Halifax of your awesome music. Until then, I shall promote your music... hey do I get a discount?

  • Fun for the whole family
    author: Cynthia Ingelfinger

    We absolutely love this CD. I have been giving it as baby gifts because I want to spread the joy. We sing the songs all the time and listen to the CD at home and in the car. My husband and I love it and our son's face lights up when he hears it. It is good for any age.We started playing it to him when he was three months old and it is now his favorite.

  • The original, and the best, particularly for the youngest crowd
    author: Maryland Fan Club

    Justin Roberts's first CD and maybe his best for the youngest crowd, these pure and joyful songs will addict anyone. We've given this CD as a gift to at least three dozen famillies over the years and repeated we are asked where to purchase more of his works. Several friends have even requested from year to year that we give their children another JR CD.

  • By far our favorite kids CD
    author: Jen Biank

    A CD that as an adult you don't mind listening to. I find the words stuck in my head when I am not with my child. It is our favorite birthday gift for friend's children.

  • Making Memories
    author: Dave H

    My wife and I bought this CD after having Yellow Bus for a couple of years now. We loved Yellow Bus so much that we had to get more from Justin Roberts. This CD has given me many memories of my daughter sitting in the back seat of the car singing along with all the songs! Of course, I join in too!

  • author: Tracy

    My 4-year-old daughter loves this CD. We listen to it in the car everytime we go somewhere. Sometimes I even catch her singing some of the tunes when she is playing. I will be checking out his other CD's, as well!

  • Catchy, witty, clever and FUN!!!
    author: Kristi

    Wonderful cd from beginning to end- I have all of Justin's cd's and listen to them even when I'm not with the kids. Well-written, imaginative, clever, entertaining- get this cd!!!

  • Childrens music you enjoy!
    author: Laurie

    We received this as a gift for our 15 month old twins and not only do they love it, but so does mom and dad. We have since bought all of Justin's CD's and can't wait for his next release. This was the perfect gift for our freinds with kids for X-Mas this year. We also have seen Justin live twice and he is a great performer.

  • Well, this was my thank you note...
    author: Jen K

    Just gave this to a new-mom-friend and was prompted for a review at the same time I received her thank you. It seemed apt to quote: "thanks so much for sending us kids' music that doesn't suck! ;) in fact, it's awesome; probably the best kids' lyrics i've ever heard! kai and i love to "dance" around the livingroom to "great big sun" and "smart parts," etc. i plan to look this guy up on the internet and buy his disc as gifts for the other little ones in our life..."

  • super!
    author: Kris

    I don't have kids but I love this cd! I give it to all of our friends who have kids and they can't say enough about it. His music is fresh and never tiring. I also highly recommend Yellow Bus and Not Naptime!

  • best children's music I've ever heard
    author: Jennifer

    I am currently in a kindergarten class for my practicum in college. My teacher suggested this CD. I am going to be a teacher next year, and I plan to use this CD in my classroom. It is so perfect! Both the music and lyrics are great for kindergarten.

  • Awesomest kids CD ever!!!!
    author: Judy C

    My almost-2-year old son's first real full sentence: "oh my gosh, its a great big sun!" We love this CD. We just got our first-ever car with a CD player and it alternates between this and Yellow bus. I have given this as gifts to 4 other people and everyone loved it. My favorite lyric: "There are seven different parts to your brain. I'll Explain." How brilliant is that?

  • Great disk, best children's music I've heard
    author: Rod Levy

    This 'children's folk cd' is as entertaining for adults as it is for children, and every child I've seen that encounters Mr. Roberts's music loves it.
