Foote goes where few, if any, musicians have gone before, turning the sound of dropping pennies into an equally effective instrument on the addictive Celtic title track. He also plays his own guitar like a pro, despite the photo appearance of a giddy child who has just picked one up for the first time. There is an old-fashioned charm running amok here, especially through streets of pop and light jazz, that one would be hard-pressed to find on most children's albums. Foote is at the forefront of kids' music because he writes good songs that haven't been heard before. Some are suited for smaller children, such as "Snuggle Up" and "Loose Tooth." Some are for everyone, such as "Let's Sing a Song" and "Think of Something Good." He experiments with space opera on the tracks "Lost Umbrellas and Odd Socks" and "Circus Boy."
