Editorial Reviews

From Parents' Choice®

Sung by adults and children, the sound has a generic flavor, but children will have fun with this varied collection of traditional play songs and folk and pop songs from earlier decades. Selections range from "Mairzy Doats," "I've Been Working on the Railroad" and "My Bonnie," to the ubiquitous "It's a Small World," Woody Guthrie's "Car Car Song" and the Beatles' "Octopus' Garden."

The best part: The extensive and imaginative activity suggestions for each song. A 2000 Parents' Choice® Approved winner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sing Along With the Five Little Monkeys CD, November 12, 2000

This CD is such a wonderful musical that I enjoy singing with my son in the car. He enjoys all of the tunes and they are very refreshing after a long day of work and school. The lyrics are easy to understand and pick up. Your child will enjoy singing this music and it will keep them occupied in the car!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very meaningful activity, February 6, 2007

By 

ayame (NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Five Little Monkeys (Audio CD)

There are so many junk CDs available in the market, but I found this CD worthwhile purchasing. Three reasons: 1. Traditional songs included which your children don't want to miss, 2. This CD includes printed lyrics of AND suggested activities and books. 3. Children's voices in the CD seem to encourage children to sing out. Only singing songs can be boring, but as a parent I find it more meaningful to sing songs, stretch them to other activities, and extend it to the literature. I wish other record companies create the children's CD like this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good music and movement CD for early childhood, December 1, 2010

This review is from: Five Little Monkeys (Audio CD)

I teach young children and I've used this CD for years. It isn't very interesting from a musical standpoint but it's good for music/movement activities and fingerplays, and children respond well to it. My students' favorites seem to be "Down on Grandpa's Farm," which is peppy to dance to and has funny animal noises, and "Five Little Frogs," which speeds up with each verse, so the last verse is super-fast - they love that. All in all, a very good CD for early childhood classes.
