I bought this record back when it was originally released for my class of two year olds. It was their favorite record, providing many creative songs they could actively sing. Sleepy Time Sea was our daily naptime soother. I have been searching for the c.d., since my record player has long worn out, so my toddler could enjoy the wonderful music of More Babysongs, known to me as Tickly Toddle.

My children (and their parents!) loved these songs sung by Hap Palmer. They are sweet and old-fashioned, and perfect from a few months until close to kindergarten, and all without product tie-ins or being so sickening that an adult cannot tolerate hearing them again and again. Highly recommended for stuck-in-the-car time!

Hap Palmer's "Baby Songs" and "More Baby Songs" are the best music for both children and adults. The lyrics are catchy and cute, the music is great. It doesn't grate on your nerves after dozens of plays! The messages are calming for older toddlers and the music is enjoyed by infants on up. My sons were raised on Hap Palmer and are now in their teens and now I am caring for my grandniece and I am lucky to enjoy Hap Palmer again with her.

We love Hap Palmer--he's one of those classics everyone should own. "Babysongs" is a great album--catchy, funny, and easy for parents to listen to. "More Babysongs" doesn't really live up to it, in my opinion. The songs are okay, but some don't seem as appropriate for younger children. Some of the songs are too long and have some annoying sound effects, too. (For example, the jarring hammering in one song would wake a sleeping infant!). It would probably be more suited to preschoolers.

This is my favorite Hap Palmer CD, although we bought this way back when on LP! These tunes are so gentle and melodic that they help calm things down when life gets too busy and can be listened to again and again.
