"A peppy blend of banjo, guitar, mandolin and a host of other instruments give Rudnick's debut children's recording a buoyant sense of fun. In his four original songs, Rudnick frequently goes for the funny bone, but also infuses his work with subtle messages about a child's desire for adult help ("I Need a Hand") and the joys of self-expression ("I Like Silver I Like Gold" and "Cowgirl Song"). The music is given plenty of room to shine, not only on traditional tunes like "Skip to My Lou" and "The Window" but also on several instrumental tracks, including "Salt Creek" and "Brad's Polka." The upbeat bluegrass sound includes the accomplished work of Jeff Bird (of the band Cowboy Junkies) on harmonica and a hodgepodge of percussion instruments including cowbells, wood blocks, triangle, tambourine - with a few hand claps and bird chirps thrown in. All ages." ~Publisher's Weekly
