Thank goodness for this CD. It's the first children's cd that didn't drive me bonkers when listening to it in the car. I used it for a week every morning during my drive to child care. As you can imagine there are many mornings that tears are a reality -- the cd was enough to snap my 1 1/2 year old daughter out of her state. My 3 year old would tell me who was singing the songs --- he related to the characters on the front of the cd. Although both of my children are too young to really get all the wonderful messages from the songs, the fact that he was trying to sing along and remembered the words made me feel good. I loved the variety of songs --- different types of music and varying voices.

I listened to this CD three times after I received it - the songs are fun and well-suited to the target audience of kids aged 3 to 6. I think that some of the songs on the CD would even appeal to kids a little older. In fact, by the time I had listened to the complete CD the first time, I was easily seeing a stage show in my mind - if any of you have seen Les Miserables on stage, I think you will easily be able to relate "This Day Is Mine" and "If I Believe" to the mood set by Cossette's solo "Castle On A Cloud".
As a parent, I would have had no qualms whatsoever about my children listening to Janyse's music when they were younger. Everything from the music to the voices she gives her characters is positive, and her lyrics carry messages which kids today need to hear. In fact, I would have dearly loved to have had this CD when my son (now aged 17) was going through his Barney phase. Even though Barney's message was supposed to be positive, his methods of delivery drove me crazy.

I could not believe your CD "The Magic of Think" would be so wonderful for children. Listening to it, I laughed, cried, and tapped my foot to the rhythm. I then proceeded to purchase 1 for my granddaughter and 6 additional ones for her to give as presents to her friends. All parents, grandparents and day care should have this CD. I can't wait for the sequel.

Janyse's previous album "Magic of Christmas" touched my heart with its upbeat, sexy and jazzy Christmas tunes that light up the mood. This time around, she releases an album with a hidden meaning....
The Magic of Think is an inspirational album, that gives it's listeners not only the soothing sounds of Janyse's voice, but also courage, friendship and happiness. All three are the key element themes used in this album, which are fun to hear and sing along to.
Janyse's voice work as Little Red, Coochi Coo (my personal favorite) and Aldis is absolutely adorable. Each character has his/her own story to go along with the songs. It's all about positivity, and it's the right message for not only children, but adults.
The sound of the music is quite good, very country/pop dance-ish this time around, with (of course...) Janyse's perfect vocal work. In short, the sounds of the music and Janyse's vocals really complemented each other. Which make it a great experience!
The album is fun to sing along with, the lyrics are cute and VERY catchy! Boogie Oogie Man is stuck in my head, and I can't help but get up and groove to Best Friend Forever. Awesome beat this time around!
Even though Janyse moved away from the jazzy Christmas theme album, she scores again with "Magic of Think" It's fun, cute, and puts smiles on people's faces. Recommended for children and adults, Magic of Think is a winner!

My 3 year old son loves this CD. We like to play it in the car although he will also put it on at home to dance around too. I enjoy the singing as well, which is not what I can say for all children's CD's. I also like the fact that the lyrics have a positive message. One day, as my son was trying to climb down a steep hill, he quoted Coochi Coo, exclaiming, "I've got courage!"

I first discovered Janyse through her voice work in animation, but grew to love her music after hearing "The Magic Of Christmas". So, of course, I had to give her latest CD a listen too!
"The Magic Of Think" is great! I love how it's set out like a live performance - just the kind of thing I would have adored when I was small. All of the voices are up to her usual high standards too, of course.
As for the music itself, I just adore its positive theme. And I'd say it's enjoyed by its target audience too, judging by how my nephew and nieces (aged 2-6) kept singing random songs after hearing it the first time! The tunes are just so catchy! The lyrics are perfect for getting you through a rough day, whatever your age though. "If I Believe" is my personal favourite - a beautiful song, and perfectly performed, both musically and vocally. Once again, Janyse, thank you so much for brightening our days with your beautiful music!

My daughter likes your entire CD, she hasn't asked me once to "skip" a song. It's a permanent fixture in her room.

What sound. When you hear a song for the first time and it sends a magical shiver up your spine, you know the artist has a very special gift. After listening to The Magic of Think by Janyse I was in awe not only by her voice but by her skill as a songwriter. Each song, from the characterized up beat country rhythms to the power and strength of "This Day is Mine" has a story to tell about values in life we often taken for granted. Janyse's gift of story telling and sharing knowledge through her songs is "pure magic". Although the CD was created for children, every adult friend and family member who I have shared it with have been touched by Janyse's magic. Can't wait for her next CD!!!

My niece loves this! A wonderful, positive, thoughtful CD for children of all ages that they can listen and learn over and over again! Highly recommended!
- Dina
It’s fast moving, fun and there is a great variety of voices. It really makes you feel happy! "This Day Is Mine" is a powerful message and it could be used to help those who are dealing with depression. The music and the lyrics blend together really well. "I Believe" brought tears to my eyes. I recommend this CD to all ages!
