5.0 out of 5 stars Great album to listen to together!, October 8, 2005

My five-year-old daughter and I really love this CD. The covers are great "versions" of the originals, and the original tracks are great additions to the overall feel of this CD. Maroon 5's "Pure Imagination" is fantastic, as is The Dixie Chick's "The Rainbow Connection." It's a great CD to listen to together and it doesn't drive you crazy after the fifth time because it's kinda "rockin'". If your children are strictly into "kiddie" types of music, i.e. Laurie Berkner, this probably isn't going to be their thing. My daughter is older and is, thankfully, expanding her musical tastes. This is something we both enjoy, minus the singing veggies and all...I highly recommend this to more mature children.

2.0 out of 5 stars Honestly, August 9, 2005

I hate to say this, but my daughter and I disliked this album. We have an extensive music library including everything from the MOldy Peaches to They Might Be Giants to Ralph Covert to Dan Zanes. And as a whole we love musicthat makes you want to dance. As my two year old stated yucky. And I have to agree, we rather listen to CSN original verision of Teach Your Children or any of CSN songs, And Madonna album has better sounding songs then the Little Star honestly get the original verision of the songs. We did not get any further then song 6 which is Baby of Mine, so the album may improve after the 6 song, but I would be suprised.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, January 9, 2006

This review is from: Mary Had a Little Amp (Audio CD)

This CD is very disappointing. My husband and I have become big fans of a wide range of "all ages" music and were optimistic about this CD, which was put together for a good cause. We just got through listening to it with our 2-year old and were surprised at how listless all the cuts were. There is not one fun, bouncy, danceable tune in the bunch--with the exception perhaps of the Indigo Girls cut. Our son loves to dance and really enjoys engaging music. This compilation edges toward the depressive at times. Even "Pure Imagination" hits a few too many minor notes for such a joyful song.
