If you are a geyser gazer you will be disappointed...
a product review for those with children: Most of the songs are fun and are a step above the "school lessons set to music". Children learn the subject but some imagination and effort when into the music and lyrics so that they are fun and enjoyable. Our favorite is "Wolf Dream", about wolves. All that said, "Old Faithful!" was the worst song on the cd. It was a school lesson/vocabulary list set to music. Naturally, I was disappointed at the lack of effort put into this particular song! And the Southern accent used in "Ruminant Chew" is a bit odd. Anyway, an overall fun cd for most topics of the area but not a great song for geysers and and the other geological phenomena of the Yellowstone.

We visited Yellowstone and heard this cd out there. I ordered it prior to another trip and we listened to it all the way. Kids loved it. Cute songs with good info for kids. :)
