5.0 out of 5 stars Nicky's Lullabies and companion book Baby Cat Nicky 123 are charming!, February 5, 2006

This review is from: Nicky's Jazz Lullabies (Audio CD)

Although we are a little past childbearing years, grown-up children from our and friends' families are having babies of their own. What can we give them that is beautiful, worthwhile, AND distinctive? Carol Friedman's latest additions to her "Nicky the Jazz Cat" collection are absolutely perfect gifts for a spectrum of occasions - showers, birthdays, holidays, or "just because." Created as a prequel to the award-winning "Nicky the Jazz Cat" originals, "Nicky's Jazz Lullabies" and the introductory counting book "Baby Cat Nicky 123" are just as charmingly and thoughtfully conceived for very young children. Three preschool teacher friends have raved about the suitability and creativity of these new items. The colors and graphic design, the perky appeal of the kitten, and the clever use of simple rhymed wording in "Baby Cat Nicky 123" promise repeat readings. The tender, gentle nature of the musical selections rendered by distinguished jazz artists on "Nicky's Jazz Lullabies" assures that wee listeners' dreams will indeed be sweet. Carol Friedman deserves a place in the pantheon of contemporary children's literary VIPs for sharing memories of a beloved pet as well as honoring jazz artists who have contributed so generously to America's unique musical genre.

5.0 out of 5 stars So soothing, January 13, 2007

This review is from: Nicky's Jazz Lullabies (Audio CD)

I keep this in the car and we often listen to it on the way home from day-care in the evening -- it's very soothing, great winding-down music, but still fun and something you can sing to. I love it, and find myself listening to it even when I'm kid-free. Someone to Watch Over Me is incredible, and who would have ever thought that Mickey Mouse Club march could be a lullaby? It works. Lots of kids' music is barely tolerable to me. This is not merely tolerable, I actually really enjoy it. Love the Nicky's Jazz 4 kids cd, too.

This CD was the best thing that ever happened to our bedtime routine. Ever since our daughter was born, we've had the pleasure of listening to these beautiful songs almost every night and we never get tired of them. Our daughter, now two and a half, continues to request "Piggy" over and over again, and thanks to Nicky, she already appreciates the magic of jazz.

We also love Nicky's Jazz for Kids. Hearing her sing Kee-Mo Ky-Mo is a refreshing change from Old McDonald!
