I bought this cd for my daughter when she was two and having a hard time sleeping on her own. It was the first of many veggie cd's we have purchased. The CD was and continues to be a source of great comfort for her. She still listens to it at bedtime.
My greatest find was the way Big Idea stands behind the products they sell (we bought three DVD's that are incompatible with the Disney Princess DVD player) and they immediatley replaced them and sent two books to make up for the trouble.
You cannot go wrong with Veggies, the music and videos have a strong Christian base so you know you do not have to worry about what your childrens will take away from them.
I would highly reccomend this and all Big Idea products to any parent!

I was a fan of VeggieTales before I became a parent, and now that I have children (ages 1,2 & 4) I'm an even bigger fan, because my kids love the VeggieTales as much as I do. All three children go to sleep with this cd every night. Even the one year old tries to sing along with the first track "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" ("star, star, star" is how his version goes). The songs are sung by the character of Junior Asparagus (in his sweet, slightly off-key and wavery way) or by the character playing his mother, whose voice is very comforting. The arrangements are simple and lovely. My only criticisms (which are minor) are that track 3, A Bushel And A Peck, although a wonderful song that my kids have learned from the cd and sing to me & to each other, seems a little too peppy for a lullaby album. Thankfully, it is early in the line-up, and not too jarring. I also wish that the producers had included lyrics so I could've learned the songs, especially the original ones, more easily for singing along. Otherwise, I highly rate this recording for parents of young children - it's a bargain at only about [$$}.

When our 1-year-old gave us problems going to bed, we played this CD for her, and she went to bed every time. My wife and I loved Veggietales (and our 2-year-old does too) before we got this CD, and believe that this CD is worth every penny that one can pay for it.

Lisa Vischer sings very beautifully on this CD, and her voice puts my child right to sleep. The songs that Big Idea picked to put on this CD are probably the best songs that could be picked for a lullaby CD. The song "One in a Million" is probably the best song on this CD, IMHO.

Excellent resource for any new parent or caregiver! It relaxes the atmosphere with calming music from the youngest Veggie Tales character, Junior. Brief conversation between Junior and his mom adds to the intro to bedtime routine. If introduced at a young age then it will become a welcome addition to the family's nighttime routine and sleep will come to the child and parent. This album has been used in our family now for 20+ years.

As a childcare provider, aunt, great aunt, and christian educator, I wholeheartedly endorse this product.

My 21 month old loves this album. Before we go to bed, she says, "God is so good." and runs to her player to have me put it on.
The songs are lovely and help lull my toddler to bed.
She even sings them to herself to soothe herself when she's in between sleep and wakefulness.
There are a few songs I think are a bit too slow but it is a lullaby album.
We keep it on very low and on repeat and has helped our toddler move away from long wakes ups late at night. Now she wakes up at most 2 times throughout the night and after 5 minutes of backrubs and perhaps a diaper change, she gently falls back to sleep.
I wish the album had the lyrics available but the singing is pretty clear and easy to understand.

We play this at bedtime for my toddler. He loves it and I like listening to it also.

Wonderful CD. My son loves it! He doesn't listen to it when he's going to sleep, but loves to have it playing while he is playing in his room. This CD is exactly what I expected when I bought it.

We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this CD. I love how it repeats itself -- so the first 15 songs include the sweet dialogue between Junior and his mom and the last 15 are just the songs.

Unlike another reviewer, our favorite song is "Bushel and a Peck," which is so sweet and low-key. These are great songs to put on when it's time to "quiet down" for a little while, in the time leading up to a nap or as you wind down for the evening. Songs are really easy to learn (esp after you listen to them for the 50th time -- and the 50th time is really just as great as the first), and so enjoyed by our little girl.

Thanks, Veggie Tales, for continuing to provide wholesome, God-centered stuff for our children!

Anybody familiar with Veggie Tales would love this CD. It's Junior singing--what's not to love? As with all Veggie Tales media, it's a great way to introduce Bible stories & lessons to little ones. Warning--Parents are not immune from getting hooked on the lyrics!

My little guys love to listen to this at bedtime. After we say a prayer I turn it on and the 2 year old starts talking right along with it ... "Junior, it's time for you to go to sleep." Very sweet. As a matter of fact, the old one got scratched beyond repair so I just ordered a new one.
