After hearing this at my son's nursery school, I was on a mission to get a copy for our home! This is a wonderful collection of songs for little ones. The catchy lyrics and the nonintrusive music make it easy to listen to again and again. It took some finding -- online is about the only place to easily get it -- but well worth the added effort. Recommended highly to all parents searching for quality music for their young children. In addition, More Babysongs, formerly titled Tickly Toddle, is a good pairing for this CD, although the music is not quite as catchy. Still a good compliment to round out the collection.

My 2-year-old daughter is a great fan of the entire Babysongs video series, which is a tribute to the single composer of all these simple and yet touching songs. Since we have a video-viewing rule (no TV while the sun is up), this album of familiar songs should make for some nice listening on a rainy/snowy day. Unlike many of the other kid albums (which, to my tastes as a musician, are either too rock-hip in their settings or too smarmy-conventional), this collection is pleasingly orchestrated without losing touch with the kids whom it entertains. If you don't have the videos, I recommend them as well (K's favorite is the ABC-123 one, which is also the most educational of the bunch.)

My 18 year old daughter had this tape when she was a baby. It was our favorite! Fifteen years later, when I became pregnant with our second child, it was the first CD I bought! My son has loved it as much as his sister! All your little one's daily activities - from reading, to playing horsey with daddy, to the pride of going without a diaper, to knowing mommy will come back when she goes away for a few hours - are here. A must for every new baby's CD collection!

I have this cassette and I also own the video. This has been my 18 month olds favorite video and tape of songs for a long time! I think all infants and toddlers would have a lot of fun with this!

Both my son and I love this CD. My son is 17 months old now and loves dancing to the music. I love the fact that, when I get the songs stuck in my head, I don't go crazy. The topics are appropriate for little ones. The songs are about things they can relate to, such as sitting in a highchair, playing horsey with daddy, not wanting a comfort item washed, and potty training. I highly recommend this CD.

I had this CD (well it was a cassette back then) when my daughter was an infant back in 1986. I gave it away long ago, and now am buying it again for her to take when she babysits. The simple songs on this CD are soothing yet somehow fascinating to babies. After 15 years I still know most of the words to "Mommy Always Comes Back," a proven winner to sing to kids you're watching.

I have a cassette tape of "Baby Song" that we listened to when our now sixteen year old son was small. Now I am caring for my niece and bought the CD so she and I can enjoy it together. Hap Palmer's songs are creative and fun and don't get old or annoying! It makes a wonderful gift as well!

My mom played this record (that's right, an LP!) when my siblings and I were growing up. Being in my late twenties now and without children of my own, I can still remember the lyrics to some of these songs over twenty years later! I can remember singing these songs even after I was "too old" for them (I found myself singing "Security (Don't Wash My Blanket)" just the other day). This is a wonderful collection of music that will be cherished for years to come!

My 18 month old son loves this CD and so do I! The music is cheerful and pleasant and Hap has a soothing voice that we enjoy listening to over and over. The songs are so cute! I wish more people knew about his music, I discovered him through reviews from other teachers and parents.

My children are in their twenties now, and I am buying this for my daughter's first child. The kids grew up with this CD (tape then...) and we still all know all the words to the songs, and all the tunes. Hap Palmer is an unusual songwriter for children: he manages to write lyrics that deal with real life for children...using the potty, fear that Mommy won't come back...and yet uses good music: tunes that are fun to sing, and not too basic. There is something for everyone here: country tunes, pop, lots of variety, and lots of instruments. There are not the typical children's tunes. You can hear them over and over without wanting to pull your hair out. Great for bedtime, for the car...even great for getting little kids to talk about their feelings. Most of all, fun! A MUST HAVE CD for families.
