5.0 out of 5 stars great CD, October 7, 2006

By	violafemme (US) - See all my reviews

I bought this for my daughter on a whim and while at two and a half the book itself isn't in demand on a daily basis the CD definately is. She LOVES it and we listen to it over and over and over.........and unlike some CDs marketed to kids this one isn't dumbed down for their consumption, it's just taken real music with real musicians and made a lovely recording that is geared toward children but totally palatable for adults. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars An intelligent book for babies! , December 21, 2006

By	E. Green "New Mom" (Minot, ND) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was so impressed by this book! I happened across it a few months ago and had to buy it. since my son is still quite young (6 mos.) we havent really played the CD much, but whenever I bring the book out he grins so big! He loves the sounds and pictures! I come from a family of jazz lovers, so this is right up our alley! I can't wait to get the whole series.

Do not know if it is the rhyming in the beginning of the book or the beautiful breakout colors but my 16 month old loves this book.
