The durability of Togs, the versatility of Huggies Pull-ups, the unerring assurance of Pampers Ultra, Ishmael really is the Nappy King of the Fisher-Price fraternity.  For over 25 years, Ishmael has been communicating God's heart to kids everywhere.  I can vividly remember turning up to an Ishmael gig, hand in hand with my father, clad in shorts, T-shirt and Clark's Commando's wanting desperately to be a soldier in the Ish-army for God.  Ish is certainly a legend in his field.  This latest collection is a super-duper collection of fun, up-tempo, easy to learn tunes that will keep your little bundles of joy happy and focused on God.  He has opted for using different sounds and things to form a hook for each tune, an old trick, but an effective one.  You will find yourself madly impersonating the sound, probably whilst your offspring look on in dismay, with a look in their eye that almost suggests that their psychoanalytical skills are better honed than you thought.  My nine year old, Penny, (and my wife, I might add!) really liked this album, especially "A Rabbit Can Hop.So Can I" which just about says it all.  So, all caps doffed to the mighty Ish, the real father of the Nappy-Clappy movement.
