Ralph Covert has been the frontman for a hugely popular Chicago-based band called The Bad Examples for years. Like They Might be Giants and Dan Zanes, he's ventured into the world of children's music and created songs that you and your kids will truly enjoy listening to. Heck, I like Ralph so much that I'll put in a Ralph's World cd when the 5 year old isn't around. Yeah, it's a little embarrassing, but there are some songs that are really beautiful, such as "Bedtime Girl" whick sometimes makes me teary eyed. I'm kind of a dork, though. I cried when I saw Andrew Lloyd Weber's "Starlight Express" and sometimes, I cry when I see Disney films.

But hey, buy a CD. I'm 100% positive you will like it. You may not be as sappy as I am, but you will enjoy the music.
