Looking for a CD to introduce your kid to American patriotic music? This CD is ideal for that purpose.

Contained on this disc are nine standards of the genera and one medley of the Armed Forces hymns. Recorded mostly by a kid’s choir, the songs are short and fun. I found myself getting into "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" and trying to learn the verses I didn't know of "Yankee Doodle." I found the inclusion of Mickey, Donald, and Goofy a little distracting on the two tracks they're on, but that's the only real criticism I have.

Kids will love learning patriotic songs from this CD, and parents will find themselves enjoying the songs as well.

As a child I remember sitting on the living room floor listening to this album over and over. I loved it. I recently downloaded the album for my daughter, only to discover that four of the best tracks have been removed, and others re-recorded. The LP from 1980 included "I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy", "Liberty Tree", " This Land is Your Land", and "The Battle of New Orleans". It's baffling that these great songs have been dropped. If your kids aren't listening to the original LP version, they are missing out. What a disappointing experience from a trusted brand.

If you are an American father or mother and you wish that your child listen some of traditional and patriotic American songs, this CD is a good choice. Furthermore, you have the special touch of Mickey Mouse.

I had ordered this for my Grandson to have when he comes over. I play this and he dances around it is just so cute to watch him. I think its great for kids.

I bought this CD because it's one I grew up with and LOVED! This is an easy way to introduce kids to the patriotic music of our country. My kids love it and have impressed several folks by knowing the words to our "4th of July songs" ... as my kids call them. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it did have some changes from the version I grew up with. I bet if I didn't know the original version, I would've easily given it 5 stars.

The CD isn't the same album that I grew up with in the 80's. Fantastic songs like, "I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy", "Liberty Tree", " This Land is Your Land", and "The Battle of New Orleans" have all been omitted. Which is a shame since they are some of the best ones in the bunch! My husband and I both remember enjoying the tape on family road trips as children. (separate family road trips of course!) Disappointed in Disney for not including all of the songs from the original release. I didn't see the reason for some of the songs to be re-recorded either. Don't get me wrong, the music is still up to Disney quality standards...only reason I gave it a 2 star. Still a great CD, but if you are expecting what children of the 80's grew up with, be forewarned that it's not that album. I've searched and haven't found it out there.

I listened to this CD (record) growing up. I remember playing it over and over. It's a great kids CD.
