On this release, the Wiggles joined forces with The Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin, which makes sense since they are all from Australia. For the most part the music is pure Wiggles with added comments from Irwin and his wife, Terri Irwin. The Wiggles are smart enough to not stray away from their popular formula, but by adding Steve Irwin they are able to keep their music and CDs interesting. The Wiggles write perfect children's music. The songs are short, bright, and peppy with strong beats and repeated lyrics. Children will love this, as will adults. They are sort of the Beatles for kids with a great deal of humor. The melodies are strong and the songs are about animals -- great music for the family. All of the regulars are here: Captain Feathersword, Dorothy the Dinosaur, and Henry the Octopus. And the standard Wiggles fare is here. Jeff Fatt even manages to fall asleep and needs to be woken, as usual. The CD closes with a wonderful medley of their hits, which makes a great way to conclude this fun CD. ~ Aaron Badgley
My 3 year old twins LOVE it! The Wiggles have been a hit in our household for a year or so now. My girls love the silliness of the music, and now they are old enough to sing along. When Safari came out, I bought it immediately. Since all the songs are about animals, and my twin girls are both into animals of all sorts, Safari became a favorite immediately. I admit, I haven't had anything but songs about Emus and Dingos playing in my head for the last two weeks, but it's a pleasure listening to my daughters belting out lyrics about dolphins swimming in the ocean and koala's sleeping in their trees. I've even started to sing along myself... Submitted by a reviewer (Salem, MA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo This review is for a different format.
