This is a wonderful collection of children's music. I use this CD with children in the first grade. We sing and have fun. The songs have a great melody. All the songs are wonderful.

What's even more important is that the messages are appropriate and good for children. I tried to talk our music teacher into singing "Like Me and You" for our school program, but I had no luck. I think it's a very special song for children, and Raffi is very special. Maybe next year.

Like Me and You
By Raffi

"Janet lives in England
Pierre lives in France
Bonnie lives in Canada

"Ahmed lives in Egypt
Moshe lives in Israel
Bruce lives in Australia

"Ching lives in China
Olga lives in Russia
Ingrid lives in Germany

"Gita lives in India
Pablo lives in Spain
Jose lives in Columbia

"And each one is much like another
A child of a mother and a father
A very special son or daughter
A lot like me and you..."

All of the songs on this CD are excellent, but we particularly like the songs in French and Spanish.It's great for exposing your kids to other languages.

These songs are silly; your kids will love them. When you listen to Raffi sing you can feel how much he is enjoying himself. These songs are fun and beautiful.

I LISTENED TO THIS TAPE GROWING UP SO MUCH THAT WE WORE OUT TWO COPIES. THE SONGS ARE GREAT TO SING WITH AND DO NOT GET OLD PLAYED OVER AND OVER. EVERY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CLASS, PARENT, AND KID SHOULD HAVE THIS ALBUM. THE WHOLE ALBUM IS GOOD FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END AND THE THEME IS UPBEAT AND POSITIVE. I AM NOW A TEENAGER AND STILL LIKE HEARING THIS TAPE WHEN MY YOUNGER SISTER LISTENS TO IT. THIS IS GOOD MUSIC AND IT IS GOOD FOR KIDS. THANK YOU RAFFI SO MUCH FOR YOUR MUSIC.

I haven't listened to this record in many many years but as I listened to the clips of the songs, I still remember the words. This album is GREAT!!! So fun to sing along to, your kids will love it.

We love Raffi. This CD is just great. We like every song. If you are a Raffi fan, there is no need for me to go on. If you are not familiar with Raffi, this is a good CD. Baby Beluga is another keeper along with Songs for the Very Young. The Raffi Christmas Album is wonderful. The song Old Toy Trains, must be my favorite al l time Christmas song.

This is an incredible CD. Children's music is not suppose to be this good, is it? "Like Me and You" must be the best children's song ever written and should be known by every school child ever known!

Thank you Raffi for this wonderful music and the "Singable Songs Collection!"

I don't know who loves this disc more, me or my 3 year old! The Baby claps along too! Great songs that make you smile and tap your toes!

This album has many of Raffi's popular songs: from "One Light, One Sun", "Down on Granpa's Farm", "Tingalayo", "Like me, Like you" and many more. Each song is uniquely different except Raffi's signature elements of humor, joy and harmony. This magical CD has 2 cheerful garden songs ("Octopus's Garden", "In My Garden"), 2 famous international songs suitable for children ("Fais Dodo", "De Colores"), and 2 exercise songs ("Walk Outside" and "The Bowling Song"). There is a trip to the farm where kids will "see" lots of animals. There is a trip to the garden where they "plant" seeds of flowers and enjoy fruits of "Apples and Bananas". The best part is the kids will "Ride in an Airplane" with Raffi to visit children around the globe and discover that this CD celebrating children is a song sung by all.

We have all become "Raffi-heads." All the kids, parents too, sing all the songs. A must have--no syrupy-sweet kids singing syntho-pop nursery rhymes. Just great music!
