Heard many of these songs while living in Switzerland, and had to have the album. My kids love it, and it helps them to keep the German they learned while there. I love Nena's voice, and her style. I would like also to get ther other Kinderlieder CD's (...)

This is Nena's second modern children's songs album and her latest solo album to date. In this album, Nena introduces not only more modern children's songs in either German or English, but also German pantomime songs( "Ein Gespenst", "Der traurige Baer", "Wir entspannen uns", "Zwei Schmetterlinge auf einer Sommerwiese", "Maedchen vom Land", and "Ameisenhaufen" ) as well as different music styles using one relatively short song "A.U.S.-Aus"( Twist, Swing, Bossa Nova, Blues, Punk, and Acapella through her third son Samuel ). Another unique feature of this album is the involvement of members of a genuine German elementary school class in the recording of several songs included in this album. Hence, I highly recommed this to everyone, especially those like Nena, who have never lost their childlikeness( not childishness ), because they will truly appreciate it.
