Uncut (p.91) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "There's still plenty of mellowed-out strum, but 'Broken' is refreshingly robust, as is the handclaps-and-piano of 'Sharing Song'."

Grammy-nominated Hawaiian singer-songwriter Jack Johnson is joined by fellow musicians including Ben Harper and G. Love on this set of songs for children from the movie CURIOUS GEORGE. Shuffling, danceable rhythms, hummable melodies, and simple but absorbing kid-friendly lyrics ensure a good time for both children and adults. Highlights include White Stripe Jack White's "We're Going to Be Friends," Johnson's duet with G. Love on the infectiously simple "Jungle Gym," and the sunny, Harry Nilsson-sounding "People Watching."
