Review
If some genius concert promoter ever puts together a Lilith Fair for 5 year-olds, Frances England should be the headline act. The singer-songwriter brings a little bit of Sarah McLachlan and a little bit of Norah Jones, yet manages to create a sound that is distinctly her own. --Cookie Magazine

Review
Frances England has created a powerfully simple, simply powerful collection of songs for her debut album, Fascinating Creatures. If Daniel Lanois produced Sam Phillips, the result might sound a little like Fascinating Creatures, but to be honest this CD is so wonderfully unique, it s hard to properly describe. This is a truly indie-rock kids album, and a fantastic one at that. --Kids Music that Rocks

Review
Frances England, has recorded one of the most adventurous children's music albums in some time, quite unlike anything out there at the moment. (Fascinating Creatures) is the start of something big, like a little secret known to only a few. But I don't think this CD or Ms. England will stay secret for long. --Zooglobble

Customer Reviews

the absolute BEST cd for kids - and parents!!
frances england's music was introduced to me well before i had a child - and i proudly admit that i immediatly loaded her music into my ipod playlists. how many of us parent-types can say that they listen to their kids' music when their children aren't even around?!! that is how good this cd is. no kidding.

the lyrics are refreshingly clever & new. the tunes are catchy. (it's not unusual for me to find myself humming one of her songs randomly during my day - and not in an annoying i-can't-get-this-darn-song-out-of-my-head way, either.) and frances couldn't have a more sweet voice. oh, and my daughter digs her music. we're looking forward to frances' world tour!

fascinating creatures is a most excellent baby gift for parents-to-be who fear that the only music they'll get to hear for the next 10 years of their lives will be cloyingly cute children's music. you will restore their faith that everything child-related doesn't have to be ridiculously hokey.

She makes Momma's and toddler's DANCE!
This newcomer on the children's music scene.....rocks! She could be likened to Elizabeth Mitchell in some ways, but her lyrics distinguish her from anyone else I've heard. My little boy loves the second cut...."Tricycle." And I have to say that "The tour de france in your underpants," (on your tricycle) is such a tummy buster! So much fun! BUY it and several copies today!

Beautiful Music!!!
My 2 yr. old and I love this CD. I never get tired of listening to it.
