If your child loves Winnie the Pooh, this has the songs from the new Heffalump movie, plus from Piglet's Big Movie, and all the best classic Pooh thrown in -- so if you buy only one Winnie the Pooh album, this one is it!

Carly Simon does a great job of making the songs great for adults to listen along to. You can't go wrong with this collection if you are a Pooh bear fan, its been a favorite must turn on in the car of my 4 year old for a couple of months now!

"The Best of Pooh & Heffalumps, Too" is sort of the official soundtrack for "Pooh's Heffalump Movie," but it also includes a great selection of songs from past movies and classics as well, some heffalump-related, some not.

The immediate stand-out of this album is "Shoulder to Shoulder," a wonderful, triumphant, cheerful track about the friendship that forms between Roo and the new Lumpy character from "Pooh's Heffalump Movie." Powerful music, strong vocals and great lyrics. It's been described as the "emotional high-point" of the movie and I couldn't agree more.

Some of the songs are very catchy and tend to get stuck in your head. "In the Name of the Hundred Acre Wood / What Do You Do?" is one of these --- it's the song that was used in the closing credits for "Pooh's Heffalump Movie." 'What do you do? / When something new / Crosses your path out of the blue...' very good stuff. Another good track is "With a Few Good Friends," from "Piglet's Big Movie."

Classics include the "Winnie the Pooh" theme (original version and version from "Piglet's Big Movie"), "Rumbly in My Tumbly" and "Little Black Raincloud." The total CD length is only about a half-hour, but the songs are so good, that it feels like it goes on pleasantly longer. And of course, you'll find it hard put to listen to it just once (or even just a few times.)

With all the Winnie the Pooh movies out, this one is great! And the soundtrack is great, too! Carly Simon does for Winnie the Pooh what Phil Collins did for Tarzan.
Includes songs actually out of the movie and also some classics such as the Tigger Song, the Winnie the Pooh theme song (two versions-the Carly Simon version and the classic version), Heffalumps and Woozles.
If your child loves the movie, they are certain to love this album.

I would recommend this collection for anyone with toddlers who enjoy the pooh movies. It has all the catchy favorites mentioned, as well as the song luv-a-bye which I don't recognize from any of the pooh movies- and ultimately may be the best song for parents on the cd and a really nice lullabye that describes every parents wish to their kids as they put them to bed.

This is a wonderful compilation album featuring songs from "Pooh's Heffalump Movie," "Piglet's Big Movie" and the classic "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh."

I bought this for my two-year-old after buying "Pooh's Heffalump Movie." We especially like "The Name Game" (or "The Lumpy Song," as my daughter calls it) and "With a Few Good Friends." I like "Luv-a-Bye" as well, which is sweet and thoroughly singable -- I caught myself singing it alound in my office lunchroom last week!

Carly Simon's sweet, simplistic voice is perfect for the Pooh-related movies, and makes wearing out an album -- like we're doing -- "bear"able!

I really enjoyed this soundtrack! My 21 month old points and begs, "Pooh, Pooh, Pooh!" when the cd changes from this one to another. My fourth grade students loved it so much we decided to retell Pooh's Heffalump Movie into a play, inserting songs from this cd, Piget's Big Movie, and the Tigger Movie. I wish the cd came with lyrics!

We love listening to this in the car. And it is not so "kidsy" that it drives you nuts. Carly Simon sounds awesome. HIghly reccomend!

I bought this CD for my 5 year old daughter. She loved the Heffalump movie and we found ourselves singing the songs, but wishing we could remember all the words. Now we can listen to the songs in the car and she loves it! And you know how sometimes kids CD's can be annoying? Well, this one has Carly Simon singing a few songs so I actually enjoy it, too. There's one song that is so charming, too, called "Little Mr. Roo" and I sing that to my son all the time. Plus, I loaded this CD onto my husband's MP3 player for car trips when I don't want to listen along. :-)

My 2 year old loves this CD, and constantly asks me to play it in the car. Songs 1-7 are from Pooh's Heffalump Movie and Piglet's Big Movie, and include a lot of the favorites from the film. There are tons of songs by Carly Simon, and we are constantly humming and singing them. It's a catchy bunch of tunes that I'd highly recommend. There are also some older classics to sing along to.

Half of the CD is Carly Simon recordings of Winnie the Pooh music, and the other half are old favorites from Winnie the Pooh. My kids love the songs, and so do I! My boys go around the house sometimes singing the songs, even when we haven't listened to the music for a while. So much fun!
