5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Children up to 7 years old, December 9, 2000

I bought this CD for my daughter for her second birthday. She loves the music! She wants to take it each week for 'show n tell.' Even I don't mind listening to the music, and it sure beats the Barney songs.

I found that her cousins, ages 5 - 9 years old, were able to enjoy this album as well.

This review is from: Born to Add (Audio CD)

Writer/producer Christopher Cerf (son of humorist Bennett Cerf) put together this album full of humorous and educational songs. A few are take-offs of well-known hits (e.g., "Born to Add" and "(I Can't No) Co-operation"), while others are original.

All display a wonderful sense of whimsy while simultaneously teaching valuable lessons about math, health and interpersonal relationships. The songs and productions are good enough that parents won't tire of this when their children play it 20 times in a row.

A classic among the Sesame Street LPs. Too bad all children's entertainment isn't this entertaining!

5.0 out of 5 stars This album is for adults, too!, July 7, 1999

This review is from: Born to Add (Audio CD)

I bought this LP for my son 16 years ago, and loved it as much as he did. Some of the songs are direct take-offs from songs ("Born To Add," "Letter B" -- the latter from the Beatles, of course), and some are style copies. They are hilarious. I recommend this collection of fun songs very highly! I am purchasing 2 more copies, one for me, and one for my sister, who has an infant and an 18-month-old. Get your kids rockin'!
