Reviewed by Joanna Cummings

After the opening piece of music there is another song so you may well think that there is no speaking on the album. But there is. Elizabeth (the cook) is a little bit tacky but the rest, especially King Amon, are great. We especially like the tax collector's names, Irippoff, Rakeidin and Uncle Sam, really appropriate aren't they. Our favourite tracks are "Count To Ten" (Stephanie) and "Bad, Bad King" (Joanna). The music for "Idol Rap" is totally excellent and we both really enjoyed listening to that particular song. It's got one old favourite, "Make Me A Servant", which is still coming on strong. We think 'Good Kings...' is a bit tacky for our age but we're sure that younger children will like it. We like the way the Kids Praise Company tell the story of how young Josiah became king between the songs - it is easier to understand than reading it from the Bible. All in all, this is a pretty good tape.
