A master of American popular song, Michael Feinstein turns to children's music for Pure Imagination and the result should please children and adults alike. The album includes story songs ("Ferdinand the Bull") and "message" songs ("Aren't You Glad You're You"), as well as favorites from films, such as the title track (from Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory) and a medley from Disney's Alice in Wonderland. This album is about what you'd expect from Feinstein, including irrepressible cheer, pleasant singing (if a little strained toward the top of his range), a guest appearance from Rosemary Clooney, and impeccable song selection. --David Horiuchi

 Great when I was a kid, too! February 28, 2008
E. Tidwell (Dallas, TX)
I remembered listening to this album when I was a kid, and HAD to find it when my son was born. The songs are fun for dancing around the living room, or singing loudly in the car, and aren't so annoyingly repetitive as other children's albums I've come across. Tons of fun, and great for memories!
best cd for kids & adults November 6, 2007

Pure Heaven!! August 29, 2007
William S. Oser (Florida, USA)
If someone would want to sample Michael Feinstein's art for the first time, assuming anyone who likes Easy/listening Pop hasn't already, this would be a wonderful place to start. It is representative of everything Mr. Feinstein does so wonderufully well. It has a couple of forgotten or never known songs which turn out to be charming or better (The Dressing Song and Mole People), it has a couple of well known songs that haven't been sung all that much recently (Arent You Glad You're You, Lydia the Tatooed Lady and Teddy Bears Picnic) and it has some well known songs that you do hear frequently performed with great style and charm (Swinging On a Star, When You Wish Upon a Star) and it brings Michael's great good friend Rosemary Clooney in the sing a wonderful song from an awful Walt Disney Movie, Ten Feet off the Ground. In short this is one of the best Michael Feinstein albums ever. Pay no attention to what other reviewers have said, don't buy this for the kids, buy it for the kid inside you, and make the kids get a job and buy their own copy. This is an album for all ages.
Our favorite children's CD October 20, 2004
CLC18 (State College PA)
Michael Feinstein captures the perfect balance of whimsy, fun, and songs that teach. He has a beautifully trained voice and he is backed up with wonderful arrangements and musicians. My 2 year old daughter and I listen to it over and over and never get tired of it.
Gorgeous Children's Music For Us Grown Up Kids. April 29, 2004
Milo (Eastern Canada)
I have to confess to shedding a few tears over this album, especially with the title and opening song Pure Imagination. As I grow older I find it harder and harder to feel the pluck of heartstrings, but Michael Feinstein does it with his rendition of the Anthony Newley classic. He takes me back to an innocent time with his infectious joy in this music. You can hear the smile on his face, hear the love he feels for the melody and lyrics. Most of the songs are happy and silly, but curiously there is one that every parent should listen to and take to heart. If you have heard this album, you'll know the song: Because We're Kids, from that amazing and surrealist movie The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T (From which the crazy Dressing Song also came.) This album is a true gem for all ages.
