Editorial Reviews

This is a family album in the truest sense. With entertainers like Burl Ives, Danny Kaye, Pete Seeger, Loggins & Messina, Taj Mahal, and James Taylor performing some of their best-loved kids' titles, adults and children can share in the joy and fun of this multigenerational collection. Be it quacking with "The Ugly Duckling," singing along with folksy "This Old Man," bopping to the calypso beat of "The Banana Boat Song," or daydreaming to "House on Pooh Corner," every member of the family will find a favorite in this compilation of songs by the original artists. --Deborah L.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great compilation of contemporary children's songs., March 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Child's Celebration of Song (Audio CD)

This album brings together some of the best artists which make the songs seem new, even though some of them are the same songs I listened to when I was a child. There are no duds here. Each song is enjoyable and you will find yourself singing them even when your child isn't around. This album has excellent sound quality, just as you would expect from James Taylor's and Kenny Loggins' adult albums (I have the CD). I will definitely be buying other albums by "Music for Little People" based on my enjoyment of this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent CD for kids & adults will like it too, July 25, 1998

This is one of our 2 year-old daughter's favorite CD's and it's also satisfying for adults as well. There are some old and popular favorites that I remember from being a child (Puff the Magic Dragon, Skip to my Lou, Somewhere Over the Rainbow, Bannana Boat song...) and some songs new to me, but that we all love: Sweet Honey of the Rock's Little Red Caboose and James Taylor's Jelly Man Kelly are especially beloved. It also lends itself well to dancing. A good buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Apparently music can soothe savage preschoolers, too!, November 19, 1999

This review is from: Child's Celebration of Song (Audio CD)

This CD is essential to my family's morning routine. If we listen to it on the 20-minute drive to preschool, we arrive singing and laughing and in a wonderful mood. If not, the boys are shrieking and hitting each other in the backseat while I bellow at them from the front. What magic did Music for Little People capture on these tracks? We have other wonderful albums, but none that captivate a 5-year-old, a 20-month-old and Mommy quite like this one. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
