3.0 out of 5 stars Who Changed the Lyrics?, November 2, 2006

Conceptually, this is a great product: a CD to help you teach your child typical childhood songs. CDs like this are particularly valuable if you are musically challenged like me. ("She couldn't carry a tune in a bucket." "She should sing solo -- 'solo' that no one can hear her." You get the idea.) You should recognize the melodies on this CD. UNFORTUNATELY, you might not recognize all the lyrics, which in some instances have been slightly or dramatically altered from the versions I learned. This is not horrible, except that these altered lyrics cannot always be clearly heard on this CD ... and there's no lyric sheet accompanying this CD ... and there's no easy-to-find place online with the Baby Einstein version of the lyrics. (So far, no website at all seems to have the Baby Einstein version of "Do Your Ears Hang Low?") The result: you won't have an entirely smooth or fun experience singing along with the CD as your child watches and tries to get it. Instead, your child will watch as you periodically stop singing and display a puzzled expression. There may be a learning experience in this incongruity, but I was not planning to teach this lesson for a couple more years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for long car rides, July 16, 2007

This CD is fantastic. We received it as a gift when my son was a year old and every time we start it in the car, he's immediately engaged (read: quiet and attentive). He's always loved when we sing to him, so this is great. You can sing along or let the kids on the CD handle the vocals when yours are worn out. The lyrics are a little different in some cases, but still fun. I'll warn you- "Yay, it's snack time/Yummy yummy snack time" gets stuck in my head every time, but there are worse things, I guess. If you need a way to distract a child on a long car ride, this has been useful for us, maybe for you too.

I bought this because my one year old son & I used to listen these songs at Pandora. Then I decided to buy it. He likes it.
