5.0 out of 5 stars I Don't Want to Live on the Moon..., November 5, 2002

I agree completely with the other reviewer! This CD is as gentle, loving, and comforting for rocking a baby to sleep as it gets! These are the kinds of songs a little one will always carry with them as a memory of their mother (or father's) caring embrace and that they will find themselves singing to their own children someday. Trust me, I know from experience! My mom played "I Don't Want to Live On the Moon" (on the TV - there wasn't a CD of it back then) and sang along to it when I was 3 years old, crying, achy, and sick one evening - and the tenderness of the song never fails to bring tears to my eyes in fond remembrance whenever the little ones in my life watch it today! And just to illustrate the sheer beauty of the song, regardless of MY memories, my dad even admits to being choked up by it! (not an easy feat, by the way!)

That's not to say this CD is a downer, of course! Not by any means at all! There are mildly upbeat little tunes like "Dance Myself to Sleep" and "If Moon Was Cookie" that are equally as adorable and memorable as my personal tearjerker favorite: I Don't Want to Live on the Moon.

It really is amazing what an incredible gift Jim Henson had. God bless his soul for all of the gentle beauty and love his work was full of. There is something so honest and pure about his Sesame Street songs that you really won't find anywhere else. I highly recommend this beautiful collection of lullabies and hope that I'm correct in assuming this will be a treasured collection of songs to sing babies to sleep to for many generations to come!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent wind down music, March 15, 2004

By

This review is from: Dreamytime Songs (Audio CD)

The CD is so sweet and NOT annoying which so many baby CDs are. The first two songs are a bit more upbeat then a standard bedtime CD, but the rest is so mellow and loving. It's not quite as soothing as most lullaby CDs, but keep in mind, the songs are song by the Sesame Street characters. That said, hearing Snuffy or Kermit sing is somehow so relaxing. I don't know if it brings back good childhood memories for me, or what, but it just feels like someone giving me a great big bear hug.

In general, I'd say the disc is better for winding down the kids then absolute bedtime music. But my 9 week old seems to love it anyway. She even falls asleep to the very loud and upbeat Sesame Street Platinum CD. I guess it's just feel good music regardless of the tempo.

4.0 out of 5 stars delightful!, June 7, 2000

This is by far my favorite Sesame Street album. The songs are not likely to lull anyone to sleep but the lyrics are so loving, tender and unforgetable you will find yourself singing duets with your small fry very often!
