Toddlers, like most anybody, appreciate being put in touch with music that connects them to their peers, and that's precisely the point of Toddlers Sing Storytime, the third release in the Music for Little People label's Toddlers Sing series (following the debut and Playtime). The CD culls classics like "Hot Cross Buns," "The Three Little Kittens," and "The Owl and the Pussycat," but dry recitations don't cut it here. The approach, rather, is to let a handful of frothy toddlers run with this stuff, often to hilarious effect. "Yolking," for instance, about Humpty Dumpty's famed fall cracks the kids up, and instead of passively pondering the location of the wayward pup in "Oh Where, Oh Where (Has My Little Dog Gone)," they take a breather toward song's end to set up a silly search party. Along the same lines, the little girl who breaks into "Baa Baa Black Sheep" confounds her fellow singing toddlers by intimating, adorably, that the sheep in question may in fact be pink, and the Muffin Man, always sort of a mysterious figure, finally gets a formal introduction by the young fellow who tackles his namesake tune. Each performer defies expectations on these ditties, but the English-accented tot who takes on "The Grand Old Duke of York" deserves special mention for his determined tone, as does the sweet-voiced singer of "Bow Bow (On My Violin)." Otherwise, the kids' off-the-cuff banter, sublime in its silliness, is this record's main selling point; it's bound to make 2- to 4-year-olds feel like flies on the wall at a play group for particularly precocious, fun-loving friends. --Tammy La Gorce

4.0 out of 5 stars Children love it!, November 13, 2000

This CD is packed with all the familiar songs that we have grown to love. What makes it different from the rest is that there are children themselves singing the songs. I teach dance classes for children and my little ones (3 and 4 yr. old) love this CD. I would recommend this one for the younger children that enjoy music and want to sing along.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining for the tots, April 24, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Toddlers Sing Storytime (Audio CD)

Our son, who is 7 months old, is mesmerized by this CD. The first day we received this CD I played it in the car while we were out running errands and he was quiet the whole time. Just last week while driving home our son was getting fussy (because I was listening to talk radio) so I popped in the CD and he was quiet the rest of the way home - this alone would motivate me to buy another one.

The songs are fun, after playing it non-stop most everytime were in the car, I'm still not tired of it. I enjoy listening/hearing the different dialects of the children and the songs are fun and entertaining.

I envision, as our son gets older, we'll sing these songs together in the car and that will make the CD even more enjoyable for both of us. But right now, anything that keeps him happy and entertained in the car gets an A+ in my book.

My 2 year old daughter loves this CD. The songs are fun and easy to dance to. The nursery rhymes are familiar and my daughter enjoys reciting the lyrics and hearing them over and over and over again. This is definitely a great alternative to television and makes playtime much more fun! Your kids will love it.
