Recalling rainy Saturdays spent watching black-and-white musicals on television with Mom, Happy Easter Songs hops off with Sammy Kaye and the Kaydets doing a Swing and Sway version of "Peter Cottontail." This is a lively, nostalgic, and largely secular celebration of Spring sprung by way of Easter featuring, among others, cowboy singer Gene Autry and the throaty tones of Burl Ives on the well-known "The Little White Duck." Rosemary Clooney contributes dreamy vocals to three numbers, including the childhood favorite "Lovely Weather for Ducks" and the Irving Berlin classic "Easter Parade." (Remember the adorable film of the same name starring Fred Astaire and Judy Garland?) Half of the songs make merry with rabbits, including Art Carney's snappy word-jazz--small children will enjoy acting out the tales as he tells "Flop. Mop. Cotton and Pete" and, especially, "A Thump. A Twinkle. And a Twitch... Or How to Make a Rabbit." --Paige La Grone

4.0 out of 5 stars A Fun and wholesome Easter CD!, October 12, 2001

By A Customer

I purchased this CD last Spring for my children to listen to in the car. It was a gamble for me as I had not yet heard it myself. It is great! The old sound of the songs will warm the adults, while the songs themselves will endear themselves to a new generation. All three of my children, (ages 10,7,and 5) enjoyed the CD and learned all the words to every song. Just mentioning "Eggbert the Easter Egg" brings a smile to their faces. I recommend this collection to any parent wanting wholesome music for their children - especially in the car.
