A Barenaked Ladies children's album is about as inevitable as gas prices climbing above the $4 mark. BNL is uniquely suited with its proper balance of whimsy, heart, silliness and songcraft. It would be hard to find anyone who can't relate to the insightful empathy of Stephen Page's "Bad Day" or the plain-spoken desires ("I wish I could speak with my dog . . . 'cause right now it's a monologue") of Ed Robertson's breezy "Wishing." Page and Robertson echo their humorous, "If I Had $1000000" dialogue style on "I Don't Like" and "Crazy ABC's," while multi-instrumentalist Kevin Hearn steps up with a variety of such genially oddball tracks as "Humongous Tree," "What a Wild Tune" and "Allergies." With BNL's vocal harmonies intact, "Snacktime!" is a musical munch worth having at just about any time of the day.—Gary Graff
