Where can you find songs recorded by Streisand, Springsteen, Cher, Sting, Little Richard and Bob Dylan - and a whole lot more - which you can play for your whole family AND help a very worthwhile cause at the same time? This is the CD to do it with! Most - if not all - of the 18 tracks have been issued before on the For Our Children series whose proceeds go to the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. But the best of the best is gathered here. Shout Factory was able to license the rights for these tracks from many different labels and the mix is great! Luther Vandross singing "Puff the Magic Dragon"! Bruce Springsteen singing to kids about eating their veggies! And a great Brian Wilson track ("Country Feelin's") Sure, you've heard some before - like James Taylor & Carly Simon' duet of "Mockingbird" and Little Richard rocking "Itsy Bitsy Spider" but when packed together and slipped in the family car's CD player, those long trips with the kids will be so much more fun.

I've pressed "shuffle play" each time I've played this disc and it sounds newer and fresher each time.

We love this CD. My kids are 8 and 10 and so over most of the kids music we have. They love this one. My son loves Bruce Springsteen's "Mama's Soup Surprise" and my daughter loves Over the Rainbow, and my personal favorites are Natalie Merchant's "Come Take a Trip in My Airship" and "Child of Mine" by Caroll King. Really great music to help you appreciate your own beautiful children, AND it supports a very worthwhile cause.

I love, love, love this CD. I am a second grade teacher and I often play music in my classroom during downtime or seatwork. I stumbled across this CD as I was randomling searching for something different to listen to for children and I am so glad I did. The songs are enjoyable for both boys and girls and I find that when they are not in my room I listen to it on my own. It is great because it combines some old classics like This Old Man and The Itsy Bitsy Spider with new music they are unfamiliar with. The variety of talented artists performing these songs is amazing....Jackson Browne and Jennifer Warnes performance of Golden Slumber as well as Carole King singing Child of Mine are some of my favorites, however I enjoy them all!!! This is a must buy:)
