A 13-track trip around the globe, ANIMAL PLAYGROUND collects songs about animals (many of which have fantastical stories attached to them) from different cultures, making for one of the most intriguing and delightful children's albums to come along in a while. "Contingo do Sapo" is the story of a singing frog put to a Brazilian forro beat, while Italy's Quarterro Cetra do an uptempo version of "Old MacDonald" (in Italian, of course). There are English-language offerings as well, but the entire disc offers non-stop singalong fun.   Technical Info Release Date : 05/22/2007 Original Release Date : 2007 Catalog ID : PUT2642 Label : Putumayo Number of Discs : 1 Runtime : 39m : 30s Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00790248026428   Professional Reviews Dirty Linen (p.76) - "Language holds no borders on ANIMAL PLAYGROUND....[A] should-not-be-missed collection."    Product Image
