Our family are real Raffi lovers. There is something about his voice that is so pure and wholesome-sounding that he really appeals to kids, and we adults enjoy his music, too. I actually thought my children would be too old for this CD (Kalli, 8, and Mackie, 5), but as soon as I put it on they came in and asked me what it was. Before I heard it, I planned to give it to a neighbor when I was finished with the review, but even if I wanted to now (which I don't), Mackie won't part with it. She play sit on her new Hello, Kitty! portable CD player.

Raffi covers classic songs from everyone's childhood, like "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," "Row, Row, Row" and "Rock-a-bye Baby" but also includes six original compositions. Kalli and my favorite, being part of an overseas family, is "Like Me and You" about children from countries all over the world. He also includes two songs in other languages: "Fais Do Do" (French) and "Haru Ga Kita" (Japanese). Mackie especially likes "Mary Wore Her Red Dress" ("Now, THAT's my favorite!" she says).

The melodies are soothing, perfect for naptime or just to calm the kids on a busy afternoon. Each one is different, unique, yet they meld together so well to create another classic Raffi collection. This one is a keeper and will provide our family with relaxing music for years to come.

My one year old has a severe case of the colic.
Night after night after night of endless crying.
Totally Sleep deprived - both of us.
I got the Quiet Time cd, and put it on.
Within 10 minutes Jessie and I were sound asleep.
It works, and has been working for over a week now!
Thank you!

If you are a parent who has trouble getting your baby or child
to go to sleep, this album is right for you. This CD features
sedating versions of classic melodies as well as tunes with the
special Raffi touch. One of the songs on this album is "Row Row Row" which is not a song that Raffi sings, so there is a little
weirdness to this album. Raffi's albums can even be used in
intensive care units to calm listeners and promote healing from
traumatic injuries or life threatening operations. Raffi is
renowned for his work with infants and medically fragile people.
So this CD is the one for everyone.

raffi does not go out of style....I'm now giving his songs to the children of the children I originally gave his music too. They love him!

Our 2yr old girl loves Raffi, and so this album was a hit automatically. It's soft, soothing, and enjoyable even for us parents to listen to (over and over again). She enjoys every song, and they are all sung in a soft, relaxing manner, perfect for quiet times before naps, before bedtime, or in the car.

This CD is wonderful for babies and parents alike. My baby always calms down at the sound of this CD and my husband and I both really enjoy it. I especially enjoy "Blessed Be" and cry every time I hear it while holding my little one.

Quiet Time is a collection of lullabies and soothing melodies from Raffi's extensive children's music collection. Providing an outstanding tracklist of beloved children's songs, Quiet Time includes: Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star; Listen To The Horses; Like Me and You; Nursery Rhyme Medley; Mary Wore Her Red Dress; Fais Do Do; Spring Flowers; Slow Day; Sun Flower; Thanks a Lot; Row Row Row; Haru Ga Kita; Douglas Mountain; Rock-a-bye Baby; and Blessed Be. Quiet Time gently carries its young listeners to a soft and soothing sleep and is very highly recommended for all parents and children for its lovable, relaxing, and encouraging music.

I play this CD during bathtime for my 18 month old granddaughter...it is relaxing and sets the tone for the soon-to-be bedtime!

I'm a big fan of Raffi. This CD is no exception. I put it on when my baby girl was getting a little fussy and ready for a nap. She immediatly stopped being fussy and fell asleep. I especially like the song, "Baby Dear."

This CD works like magic. My 7 month old son HATES taking naps. If you put him in his crib he will scream and scream. When I put on this CD he stops crying by the middle of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and is asleep by "Slow Day". My sanity is restored. Plus it's a CD that I don't mind listening to everyday. I've tried other lullaby CD's and nothing else has worked this well. Thank you Raffi!
