Based on many of my reviews most people would think I'm nuts reviewing a preschool kids album. However, I found this haphazardly while surfing and decided it needed reviewed.

Back in the day (well, a few decades ago), I had a cassette of Sharon, Lois, and Bram. Much to my surprise this contains most of the songs on it plus more. My personal favorite was "Peanut Butter and Jelly" (my mother still sings this to herself--yes, it does sink in on the older crowd, too) and I can honestly say this is one of those albums I'd stick in with the Disney film favorites and Disney For Our Children under that category of "must buy for children someday".

Now that it's two discs there should be much more quality music than I ever heard on the cassette player in my mom's old Honda Accord. Trust me--the car is the best place to play this and all childrens albums when they're around.

this 2 cd set ( make sure you get a 2 cd set that is made in CANADA) that is where the group is from, and that is where their original recodrings live. original import 2 CD set gives you endless hours of songs that you can sing with your child, or he/she can have fun alone. the songs just "draw you in". We have a large collection of kids music - over 200, ans Sharon, Lois and Bram Cds are by far THE BEST. Next best is another Artist from CANADA - Fred Penner.

buy these and ENJOY!!

I was born in Canada, and I grew up with this music. I still remembered 'Peanut, peanut butter--Jelly!' decades after I'd heard the song, not to mention the immortal 'One Elephant, Deux Elephants', and it was therefore a given that I would buy the Greatest Hits album for my own son as soon as he was old enough to appreciate it.

It has been wonderful sharing these songs with my son, and to see how much he enjoys them, singing along with the traditional songs he recognizes as we tool along the highway. I love Sharon, Lois and Bram's infectious enthusiasm and obvious pleasure in singing these sweet, silly songs, and I swear I have never heard a better version of 'She'll Be Comin' Round the Mountain' than the one on this CD. 'Skinamarinky' (which I probably can't spell) is exactly as I remembered it, and just as wonderful. How better to tell your little one, 'I love you'?
