"[Imagination Vacation] just arrived yesterday and Henry's [age 2] first request after getting out of bed this morning was "can I listen to the Hello song?"

"I can't begin to tell you how much Matthew loves his Nino tapes. It really is a kick! Especially the firetruck song...oh my!!! He likes to stand up in his crib and sort of sing along...at least that's what it sounds like he's doing!

You have been a wonderful source of inspiration and joy for both Marty and Jake." - Shari A.

"He loves the music and although he cant talk or sing words yet, he actually HUMS!!! He loves your style and so do I!!!" - Lin K. and Family
"We received the CD's yesterday and just now listening to them. WOW, I"M IMPRESSED!!!!!!! and it takes a lot for me to be impressed by children's tapes- most are so generic and out for mass production. I can hear the enthusiasm- Nino, I can hear that you are REALLY enjoying what you are doing.
I think her preschool and special ed teachers would like the tapes- - I've found that all the songs have a component where the kids can physically contribute. They will be well loved when she is in isolation during Bone Marrow Transplant." - Lisa K.

"We are both enjoying the CD's so much!! He cannot talk but hears and sees well. So I read and sing to him often. You songs are so catchy that I am able to grab his hands and swing his arms to the music while singing. If you could see the huge smile on his face you would know that the CD's are worth a million dollars to me! Smiling is really all that Preston can do at will, and anything that can make him smile is pure gold in my eyes!" - Carole
