With this album, came a single Walk The Dinosaur – a direct cover of the American band Was (Not Was) which was a huge hit.
The music clip featured all four children running around an animated Flintstones setting, with eldest Mahalia singing the main vocals.
While not a major hit, the album Snakes And Ladders earned an ARIA nomination for Best Childrens Album in 1993.
