All the Colors is a fun musical CD for children. The songs are written, produced, and engineered by Ira Marlowe. There are 14 songs on this disc.

All the Colors has music ranging from space-themed songs, environmentalist songs, character trait songs, and some just plain silly songs. All of Ira Marlowe's CDs contain a song about Molly the Moose, and in keeping with that theme, this CD has "Molly the Moose in Hollywood." You could use some of the songs about the planets and the sun in your science class.

My children had a lot of fun listening to the songs on this CD. I enjoyed most of the songs too. But since I am used to playing music for my children that teaches Christian principles, I had a hard time getting used to these songs that did not contain a Christian message.

While we had fun with this CD, I found that there were several themes that Christians might find objectionable as well as one or two words used that are not allowed in my house.

I liked the music on this CD but could not recommend it to homeschool families. I do not believe it goes well with the values we try to teach our children.
