THE SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL

"The first of the nine rollicking dinosaur songs featured in this collection captures listeners' attention right away with the jaunty '69 Million Years'.  This fast-paced tune places the dinosaurs in a time 'Back before McDonald's, back before TV, back before rock music, and Newsweek magazine.'   It sets the stage for songs about 'big monsters' as the T-Rex, stegosaurus,  triceratops, ankylosaur, and the archaeopteryx.  The songs are filled with intelligent lyrics that accurately portray the lives of dinosaurs.   In 'Who Shall I Eat Next,' Mr. T-Rex has eaten most of his relatives and is trying to figure out who will be his next meal.  Even a trip to the dietician hasn't helped cure his voracious appetite.  In 'Triceratops,' the normally peaceful dinosaur defeats the mighty T-Rex rather than become his dinner.  Interspersed with the facts are just plain fun-filled songs like 'Prehistoric Porch Sale,' and the play on words 'Thesaurus Thesaurus.'  A good edition to early elementary school collections."

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

"Fun facts abound on '9 Dinosaur Songs' by the Bergman Broom Haywire Ensemble, a compilation of jaunty folk-flavored tunes about the ever popular prehistoric beasts.  Listeners get a sense of how long ago dinosaurs walked the earth in '69 Million Years' and learn about the tyrant tendencies of 'That ugly, little three-horned beast' on the song 'Triceratops.'  Other tidbits about various dinosaurs' appearance and  behavior are also woven into the lyrics."
