Al Start says, " I've been writing children's songs and playing them in schools for only three years; but it's the most fun I've ever had! These songs are the children's favourites, and believe me, they tell it to me straight!" "I wanted to write songs with as much authenticity and effort as every other adult song I've ever written. So here is a children's album with full production (no plonky keyboards!); loads of vocals and harmonies (no whiney simpering!); and proper funny stories." "It's the adults who buy the children their music, so the songs have to cut it with the grown-ups too! Loads of my friends who have children say that there are few children's albums that they can stand to listen to....The gauntlet was thrown down!"
