5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Intro To Good Music Via Classic Nursery Rhymes, December 6, 2001

This is a wonderful CD, perfect for introducing children to good music and these classic nursery rhymes. The little ones will want to hear the rhymes sung over and over, and parents won't mind the repetition because of Robin Hendrix's beautiful, secure voice and pianist Michel Prezman's dramatic rendering of J. W. Elliot's Victorian scores.

Ms. Hendrix addresses these 46 nursery songs with the proper high seriousness of their Victorian origins (1870). Her voice is so elegant and graceful, you visualize her as a loving fairy godmother sprinkling starshine on her charges. A lilting, confident, and reassuring good humor undergirds the songs whether Hendrix is treating of a slightly scary "Spider and the Fly," comic "Simple Simon," pompous kings and politicians, "Ding Dong Bell," "Sing a Song of Sixpence," the lovely "When the Snow is on the Ground" -- whatever the rhyme and Mr. Prezman's excellent interpretation of the music require.

I'm putting my wallet to work. I already have three copies of this CD and today I'm buying three more. I'm betting that these CDs will keep the joy of these nursery songs alive for my grandchildren long after I have been packed away.

As a teacher of very young children, I am always looking for music. Music children can work to and relax to. My children love Three Little Mice which we listen to while having snack. Robin has a beautiful voice!! the next Diva of Jersey City. The music is soothing!!

I was looking for a "classic" gimmick-free version of nursery rhymes and songs,
and I nearly passed this one by because of a few reviews. Luckily I downloded
a sampling of several of the songs sung by Robin Hendrix. They were exactly
what I wanted. I ordered the CD for my son and he loves it --- and the foldout
panel with the various pictures of Georgie Porgie and The Cat and The Fiddle,
really got his attention. I highly recommend listening to the songs before
buying the CD and that way, you'll know exactly what you're getting ...
simple music and text of the much-loved nursery rhymes and songs.
