A few days ago, my two year old son was singing about the theory of relativity. When he’s reciting that well-known equation, do I believe he knows what he’s talking about? Nope. But do I think that when it does come up someday in school that he’ll remember that it has something to do with Einstein, physics, Newtonian theory? Absolutely. This is thanks to Mr. Nicky. Kids and parents of all ages will get into this CD. I couldn’t decide whether or not I liked this album as much as the last.
I can now say that I do. Perhaps it’s even better. The goofiness of “Rattlesnakes for Breakfast” is still there, but there is real education in these songs. With these songs stuck in my brain, even I’ve learned some things. I really seems like he made it a point to pack in as much information as he could into every song.
But they’re still extremely fun songs. We have a blast dancing around the kitchen, and I know he’s learning too. My question is… when will Mr. Nicky get his own tv show? Bill Nye made science fun five to ten years ago…. Mr. Wizard — 20… Now it’s time for Mr. Nicky, musical science teacher!

the sun dared him to get up and try it agian… and he did. this time Mr. Nicky ended up in the science lab!
again, another funny and silly record – but this time he really weaves in some very intellegent scientific concepts.
My favorite (and my son’s favorite) song is “My Christmas Amoeba”… which i never thought anyone could quite use the word “amoeba” in a song and have it still be great.
i don’t think the word “enjoyable” is large enough to engulf what Mr. Nicky’s music really is- it is for the whole family- though geered best toward 3-8 year olds… still, he has brought me to tears in the most simple ways.
This new record satisfies me, but at the same time only makes me hungry for the next one, where, if Mr Nicky doesn’t put THE KITTY SONG on, he will have some very angry parents! (hint, hint!)
