I was fortunate enough to be introduced to this album while working at a daycare. My fellow employees would laugh (lovingly) at me while I belted out the choruses. Their favorite or course was hearing me sing, "I'm a nut, I'm a nut, I'm a nut, that's me!" (from The Acorn Song) :o)

I loved hearing this play in the background during playtime.

Naturally when my first child was born I knew we HAD to have this album. We keep it in the car. Even at a very young age I could tell that he liked it. Heather Forest's voice seems to have a wonderful affect on children. Case and point: when my son would be crying in the car, I would put on this music and he would STOP! Amazing!! He will be 3 years old in a couple weeks and it STILLS has that affect on him. Being older he doesn't CRY as much in the car anymore, but it's the TEMPER TANTRUMS that the music instantly puts an end to now. Don't know what we'd do without this album. Thank you Heather Forest!!

One last thing- one of the best things about this album has been my son learning the words and singing along. Too too too cute and he just LOVES it ! ! ! He looks so proud of himself :o)

He picks this album over all the other music we have in the car...even The Wiggles!! And if you are a parent to a toddler you might just know how amazing that is :o)

Trust us and buy it :o)

We have had this recording on audio cassette for 15 or so years. My 18 year old son and my 14 year old daughter both remember it fondly as do my husband and I. At dinner tonight, we were singing "The Acorn Song" and it made me wonder if it was available on CD. I'm glad to see it is still available to families. The songs are both entertaining and beautifully performed. Although many are humorous, most are based on classic stories or fables so they aren't simply silly. Enjoy!

Perfect for Pre-K to Grade 4 story hour. Kids pick up the chorus instantaneously. Three Billy Goats, Little Red Hen, Stone Soup are my cornerstones. I suggest reading aloud first. Then play the song and exhibit the appropriate pages. I use Janet Stevens' Three Billy Goats Gruff, Paul Galdone's Little Red Hen and Heather Forest's Stone Soup.
