This review is from: Wee Sing Around the World (Book & Cassette) (Paperback)

If you want to widen your children's horizons,this is the book for you.There are 43 songs from as many different countries,and almost as many different languages.Each song is sung in native and English language.With included maps,data on each country,various letters (Indian,Chinese,Arabic),and a sing-along cassette or CD it's not only fun but also something to learn from. So,where is number 2?

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fun Trip Around The World!!, November 15, 2001

This review is from: Wee Sing Around The World (Audio CD)

Talk about multicultural! This music is a delight! Most of the songs are sung by children. Each singer introduces him or herself in English as well as their native language, then they sing a traditonal folk song! Each piece is short, the music is
very catchy! My son was 3 when we got this and after 1,00's of listening hours...at 6, he still loves it! He has learned the names of countries, continents as well as foreign words!
His teachers have borrowed it and it has brought many magical musical moments to many children!

5.0 out of 5 stars Travelling the World in Our Minivan, August 23, 2006

By

This review is from: Wee Sing Around the World (Audio CD)

I purchased this cd last week to use as a springboard for studies of other cultures with my kids (ages 8, 5, and 3). It is GREAT!

We listen to it in the van and it feels like we are visiting other countries when we're just on our way to the grocery store! The kids love it...even the songs that they don't understand. The songs are introduced by a national in the nation's language. In many cases, these are children. Then the kids translate their introduction into english. The song is then sung in the native language and sung again in english. My eight year old loves reading the native language while it's being sung...and often tries to sing it with them.

I am amazed at the translation because I know it took work to find out what these songs mean and how to make it fit musically into english. Very good quality work.
