5.0 out of 5 stars For "Kids'" of all ages, June 14, 2002

This is an exact re-release of the album by the same title available in the '80s. Dame Judith Dench sets up each piece with a very short introduction as if she had a child on her lap. Then The King's Singers sing a delightful acappella arrangement of the story or nursery rhyme. I enjoy the album because here is a chance for children to hear music that is attractive to them being sung by the group many consider to be the finest vocal ensemble in the world. This is a welcome change from the Disneyesk approach to children's music often sung to them by "animals".

The sophistication of the arrangements gives appeal to "kids" of all ages.

Excellent for school/day care classroom use and a great gift from grandparents.

This is a fabulous recording. Its been out of release for years, and I'm thrilled to see it back. This is the perfect present for a new big sister or brother, not to mention a new baby. We played this on just about every car ride when my kids were little, and now that they are teens, I bet they'd still get a kick out of it. The format doesn't talk down to kids or to their parents. Judi Dench is warm and delightful. My children learned to appreciate choral and vocal music, largely due to this King's Singers recording (and "Good Vibrations.") It is phenomenal. Buy it!
