“Kevin Kammeraad's The Tomato Collection, The Big Album almost defies description, but I will try…The music ranges from gentle and thoughtful to wild and frenzied…[Kammeraad] nestles the fun and silly sides of being a kid in between the concerns and worries all children face. Each arrangement perfectly supports and illuminates the thoughts and emotions of the [poem]. This book and CD combination stands out, take the time to find it.”
- Chicago Parent Magazine, review by Fred Koch
“These aren't your ordinary kid songs. These are super, extraordinary, COOL kid songs. The 50 songs performed by Kammeraad and friends include funky guitar ditties, gritty blues, and pop tunes that will have you bee-bopping all over the house.”
