After working with Ella Jenkins music for many years, (still using the original vinyl records) I moved to a new school with absolutely no resources. After spending days looking around I decided to buy an assortment of Ella's CD's, we have just had the most marvelous year, her music today is as fresh now as when first recorded, everyone at my new school was astounded with how much fun and success we had, my five year olds put on the most amazing music concert, with one conducting and the others divided into groups, playing numerous instruments and singing in rounds. Ella thanks for helping me give these children such a fun and sound foundation in music. Susan Fell, Melbourne Australia

I was so excited when I found this cd on amazon today. I had been looking for it for years. I didn't know the artist, but I did remember it was a red cd with a song that went "You sing a song and I'll sing a song in warm or wintry weather." My brother and I heard this cd in preschool over and over again and loved it. It is cherry and simple- not a ton of instruments (mainly a guitar) and not tons of kids screaching at the top of their lungs. I can't see this cd driving any parent crazy. I also fondly remember the song "Miss Mary Mac". Parents, get this for your preschoolers. They will love it.

This CD allows children of all ages from 3 years old to 7 years old to actually have a slow enough pace to repeat what has been sung to them. You do not have to keep playing each line over & over in order for the children to be successful. I am a speech and language pathologist who usually has children who stick-out like a sore thumb in class productions because they cannot keep up with the others. With this CD, they do not have a problem. All children enjoy the songs and want to sing along. They imitate many different sounds that can build on their phonemic awareness, which in turns helps them listen and discriminate between sounds of the English language. This aids them in learning to put sounds together to talk better and read better.
