In a world filled with eye-opening animated cartoons and technically advanced video games, music is still a viable and entertaining method for capturing the imagination of children. Whether it's educational or pure fantasy, the genre is characterized by catchy, easy-to-sing tunes or engaging audio stories, often accompanied by a read-along book. The target audience is usually pre-school kids whose sponge-like minds are eager to absorb the world around them, although many outside the demographic--adults included--enjoy this light-hearted music as well.
