5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding children's album, September 13, 2005

Adults can enjoy this too for despite the cover picture and the album title, there are some really great songs here. Some are covers of songs that can be on standard albums yet they are not out of place here - these include Hi lili ho lo, You are my sunshine, Open up your heart, I can see clearly now and What a wonderful world. Teddy bears picnic can also be found on standard albums but really belongs here.

All those songs are great, but Anne has obviously put a lot of thought into her selection of songs aimed squarely at children. Why oh why is a great song that illustrates the problems that parents have in answering children's questions - nobody can predict what a child will ask. Another great song is Stars are the windows of heaven - this is one way of answering a particularly awkward question and it's very well done. Apart from Teddy bears picnic, there are two other animal songs (Animal crackers, Inch worm). The album title comes from the chorus of opening track (Hey Daddy).

This is a magnificent children's album that can be enjoyed by adults too.

My parents often played this album for me when I was a little girl and I still know many of the songs by memory. This is a sweet and memorable album with very thoughtful songs. I love it, and as soon as I found out I was expecting a child of my own set out searching for it on CD.

Anne's only children's album screams quality. The songs are so good that even adults love it. My personal favorite is "Sleepytime"-I am 35 years old and I often listen to it for its dreamy lyrics saying that one can be whatever he or she wants to be as long as they believe it can happen. "Hey Daddy" is a song that you can't listen to without singing along. It is often a top request at Anne's concerts. "You are My Sunshine" could have been a country single and hit for Anne-it is that good. "Teddy Bear's Picnic" is a song every child will love. The lullaby medley she has at the end is so touching, so soothing, you wish you were a kid again. This album is timeless, enjoyable and thoroughly wholesome. If you have kids or are a kid at heart, I know you will enjoy this one.
