Master pop composer Neil Sedaka reaches out to the kids on this album, which features new versions of some of his classics rewritten for maximum tyke appeal, as well as some straight-up children's songs. Anyone who has ever enjoyed Sedaka hits like "Breaking Up is Hard to Do" or "Love Will Keep Us Together" will find it impossible to stifle a grin at their reinvention here as "Waking Up is Hard to Do" and "Lunch Will Keep Us Together," and kids will respond to both the child-friendly subject matter and those irresistible tunes.

In the late-1950s/early-'60s Neil Sedaka was part of the compositional Camelot that was New York's Brill Building songwriters stable, penning hits for Connie Francis, Tom Jones, and others. It wasn't long before he began recording his own compositions and scoring hits for himself. In the '70s, a more mature Sedaka made a major comeback with a more sophisticated, Adult Contemporary sound, racking a batch of new chart-toppers. Others hit big with tunes around that time as well, such as the Captain & Tennille with "Love Will Keep Us Together."
