Though recorded in the 1970s, this classic Raffi album is still one of the children's troubadour's bestsellers. The gentle, joyful style; simple musical arrangements; and easy-to-follow up-front vocals have made Singable Songs for the Very Young a favorite among tiny tots, parents, and preschool teachers. By combining traditional songs like "The More We Get Together," "Down by the Bay," and "Going to the Zoo" with Raffi originals like "I Wonder If I'm Growing," "Peanut Butter Sandwich," and a jazzy near-cover, "Old MacDonald Had a Band," the album has a familiar feel while giving young children the opportunity to learn new songs and rhythms. Other notable titles include the interactive "Brush Your Teeth," "Five Little Pumpkins," and the tongue-twisting "Willoughby Wallaby Woo." --Deborah Moore

When I saw that the average customer review for this CD was anything less than 5 stars +, I had to comment myself. I then saw that it was just that one person (certainly entitled to their opinion -- but from Chgo no less!) was bringing the average down.
This CD really is brilliant. My son started listening to it when he was weeks old, and after a few months he smiled (and still does at 10 mos.) every time it came on. I find the songs running through my own head.
Anyway, I can't articulate it; I can only recommend that you buy it for a child. It's a wonderful gift.

Our nieces and nephews loved Raffi, so we picked this one up for our 14-month old son who absolutely loves it! He claps whenever he hears it in the van, and Raffi's voice is so soothing, that he often falls asleep to it. At home he dances and gets so excited when he hears the simple yet fun tunes....and even fusses in between songs wanting more! Raffi is great for adults too as he has an easy, folksy voice that isn't annoying like many of the other music they have out there for children. The songs were carefully planned for the very young and are easy to sing along with....for parents too! Pick it up and enjoy!

A neighbor and mother of 5 recommended this CD to me. We have children that range from 15yrs to 7 months. We ALL love the songs. My toddler (the biggest fan of course) can be found singing Raffi tunes while playing. The songs are very catchy and hard to shake. I must have sung "Robin in the Rain" hundreds of time to myself. Down By the Bay has brought some very interesting self made rhymes by all of us making it educational! I am now purchasing this CD to give to friends as gifts that children will take a very long time to outgrow!

Mostly good, but beware of a few songs
My two year old is in love with Raffi. However, I do have a few problems with some of the lyrics. Track 9: Must Be Santa -- We don't celebrate Christmas with Santa, so I wish... Read more
