5.0 out of 5 stars INCREDIBLE SINCERELY ENTERTAINMENT - no plastic garbage here, February 23, 2000

18Rabbit (no where) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: American Folk Songs for Children (Audio CD)

Forget about purple dinosaurs and inept adults dumbing down low quality music to hyponotize children with insincere emotion. This is the real stuff. This album is quality authentic music that children love! My kids wear this album out and better yet I like it. Maybe a little to real for TV culture. Also check out woody guthries - "songs for mother and child to grow on" and "the nursery years".

5.0 out of 5 stars This music is great!, June 11, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: American Folk Songs for Children (Audio CD)

It is so nice to have children's music that is fun for them and doesn't include any sappy, "disneyized," or otherwise insipid singing! We bought the CD because we wore out the tape and we don't even have a front porch, a rocker, or a 10 gallon hat between us! -- Also, it's neat that the music is historically significant.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this, February 24, 2006

Wendi (One of the Great Lakes States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)

This review is from: American Folk Songs for Children (Audio CD)

I love this. My children have all loved it. It's just great, authentic folk music, easy to listen to, easy to sing, easy to apply to whatever you might be doing. The way folk music ought to be.
