My two sons, ages 4 and 1, love the CD. They love to dance, march, and jump to these upbeat classical favorites. It is a great way to have kids burn energy while working the body and mind. Occasionally I point out the different instruments, loudness, speed of the music, name of the piece, composer etc. It is nice to have all of these favorites compiled on one CD. The CD is 67 minutes long so I start the CD at a different spot each time. The title is misleading, I think it should read "Good Music for Little Guys and Girls"!

My 18-month-old enjoys this album a lot. If he's feeling grumpy, starting it up will usually bring at least a temporary smile at the first strains of "The Stars and Stripes Forever". If he's in a good mood to begin with, he really gets into it, moving with the music. It's a lot more tolerable on repeat than some of his other favorite albums, as well, which makes my day more pleasant.

I bought this album for my grandson when he was just 11 months and he immediately danced to the music. Now he is 16 months old and as soon as he hears the first piece, he runs to get his rhythm instruments so he can keep time to the music. Most of the baby classical albums don't have lively music so this is a real treat. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to encourage a love of classical music and a sense of rhythm.
