Editorial Review:
Brother for Sale finds the nation's most popular pigtailed pair in a straightforward sing-along with, mercifully, 10 of their more melodic-sounding friends. Any 5-year-old will warm to what's addressed here: there's an ode to peanut butter in which the praises of "chunks, lumps, gobs, and globs" of the gooey stuff are sung; an impassioned plea for a pup ("Desperate for a Dog"), in which it's made plain that a gerbil or frog won't do but "a collie or Dalmatian / a poodle or Alsatian / Maltese, Pekinese, please, oh please" will; and an all-kidding-aside reflection on the niceness of being "Hugged by You," especially after a bout of loneliness or scraping a knee. This album's standout, though, is "The New Kid," on which the full complement of friends helps to illustrate the saga of a young fellow who moves to a bustling new block from around the bend and unsuccessfully tries to befriend a boy on a bike (who has all the friends he needs), a girl in gold (who hates boys), a tyke in her crib (who only says "Waa! Waa!"), and, pathetically, a dopey dog (who's busy burying bones and has an unfriendly bark). Right after he hangs his head and starts to cry, everybody shows up to throw him a surprise birthday party, something they pull off without causing this song to go tumbling down a triteness chute. Also fun are the New Orleans-styled "Neighborhood Kitchen Pots and Pans Rhythm Band" and the reggae-infused "Uh-Oh Accident." --Tammy La Gorce

2003-11-12 - Uh, the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen "Brother for Sale" CD is good and most of the song is really boring. I enjoy listening to it anyways. i ACTUALLY LOVE THIS song called "Peanut Butter" the best! The Peanut Butter can be also be sung in the Snoopy album, too. ...
Please... This page has awakened repressed memories...ehhhhh 
2003-09-15 - I can't believe they sell this worthless piece of junk... My feelings for this CD are possibly worse than my feelings for the Olsen Twins themselves!
This is Olsens as we knew them from "Full House."
This is one of the worst things ever!
great childhood memory
2003-04-18 - I believe it was my 7th birthday when I received this album as a present from my aunt and uncle. To this day, I still remember it being one of my favorite tapes ever. I never thought of the girls as being bad singers--since I was just such a huge fan when I was little, I loved listening to it over and over. The songs that Mary Kate and Ashley actually sang themselves were the ones I liked (especially "Peanut Butter")as opposed to the ones where the other choirs of kids came in to sing. Overall, though, I think it's a fun album for kids to enjoy.
I know that kids today are growing up watching a more grown-up, mature, and completely different Mary Kate and Ashley than the kids like me who remember them from their lighthearted "Full House" days, and even though I'm a lot more critical of them now I still feel that they've remained good role models for young girls. Their music albums are something that any fan would enjoy having. To me, this, their first album, will always be special to me.
what a great cd ! the melodies are awesome!
2002-06-10 - I like this cd so much; I always listen to this cd when I'm in my car.My favorite one is " I can't hear my parents call".In a way, this cd cheers me up when I'm sick and tired to go to school! But the bad thing is that there aren't enough pictures of them in it.
