Artist: Putumayo Kids (Various Artists)
Album: Australian Playground
Description: So there's a new Putumayo collection out May 27 from a land down under. It does not feature the Wiggles, which I suspect the Putumayo target audience is OK with. It does feature some usual Australian suspects ("Waltzing Matilda," natch), some omissions (no "Kookaburra"), and a bunch of folk-jazz artists (with a touch of "world music") who'll be new to the Northern Hemisphere.

Artist: Various Artists (Minimúsica)
Album: Els Aliments (Food)
Description: The second collection of kid-friendly indie-pop from Barcelona-based label Sones and their Minimúsica offshoot, this 2011 compilation focuses on transportation-based themes. I love "Autobús" but there are a lot of very fun tracks, even the ones about dreamboats, which I think might be stretching the definition of transportation just a bit. As I noted in my 2011 review of this album and its predecessor, these songs need to end up on a Putumayo collection somewhere. Another stellar collection of kindie for your bilingual preschooler. Or even your monolingual preschooler.
