(283 posts)If your grandson and/or other kids in your family are in the 4-9 age group, this album has a very engaging and clever set of songs.
What we like is that the singing, arrangements, etc. aren't sing-songy or otherwise childish-sounding. We even have adult friends who liked this album on its own merits. So if you have any way to try it out for free (Spotify, etc.) your grandson will likely be pleased as a pickle!

(3,474 posts)You know, the pirate comes into a bar with a wooden leg, a hook for a hand, and an eye patch.
I asked what happened to his leg, and he tells me (in a pirate's voice) that in a battle a canon ball blew his leg off and the ship's carpenter carved a new one for him.
Then I asked about his hand, and he says that he was in a sword fight with an enemy and got one of his hands cut off so he had a blacksmith make a hook for his arm.
Then I asked about his eye patch, and he says, "A seagull pooped in it".
"A seagull pooped in it?" I ask. "How did that put your eye out?"
The pirate hangs his head down and mumbles "It was me first day with the hook".
My five year old grandson loved the joke, but he never understood the punchline. So he would tell the joke to people, and get it all mixed up, and of course never get the punchline right. And everybody would be in hysterics, because he was SO cute, doing a pirate's voice, and failing so completely telling the joke. And of course, since everyone laughed when he told the joke, he would tell it over and over again.
He told the best joke I ever heard.
