I use this CD with my preschool music group. The kids love it! This CD enables children learn about classical music without over extending their attention spans.

This is a wonderful album. Very high quality, and every selection is beautiful. My daughter (who usually asks me to turn my classical music off) loves to pretend to gallop like a horse during "Rodeo" and march like a soldier during "Parade of the wooden soldiers". This is a pleasure for the whole family!

This is wonderful classical music. If the kids like it, great! But, make no mistake about it, this is good for anyone. This is wonderful study music, reading music, or just plain relaxing music. Highlights include "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers"; "March of the Toys" (from BABES IN TOYLAND -- the reason I bought this CD); "The Sorcerer's Apprentice"; "The Little Train of Caipira" (no longer little when the music is over); and the audience favorite "Hoedown" (i.e. "Beef, it's what's for dinner!").

If you're into that whole thing of classical music sharpening a youngster's intellect, then this won't disappoint. If you're just into good old fashioned classical music in general, it won't disappoint you either. Also, I highly recommend to both groups the classical CD BUILD YOUR BABY'S BRAIN.

I was looking for a CD of classical music to play at home with my young children. Baby Einstein's adaptations were driving me crazy and this CD played the songs as they were written. Sound quality is excellent. I also bought 25 Children's Favorites and like this CD better because there was variety in the order of songs. 25 Children's Favorites is good and plays many of the same songs but I always hit shuffle when I play it or the songs run together.

I haven't been this happy with a purchase for my children in a while. What a steal!`

We originally borrowed this from this library. Whenever I asked my six-year-old if he was ready to return it, the answer was "NO!" We renewed as many times as possible, then sadly had to return it to the library. My son got this out on his own to listen to. He danced to the songs until he could barely stand, then "rested," and began again. I'm happy (and my son is thrilled) that our very own copy is now on its way to us!

I bought this CD because I was going to be teaching a preschool ballet class. There were very few usable songs on the disc. They sounded too, well, classical - not "kid" enough for me. Maybe I just had the wrong idea when I bought it, I don't know!
