5.0 out of 5 stars catchy tunes for adult and child alike! , January 16, 2009
By T. Sakamoto (Aiea, Hawaii USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
First off, I'm in my early 30's... the original songs came out before my time; however, I did recognize almost all of the songs on this CD by the beat alone (i've been racking my brain trying to figure out the original titles!)

My almost 3-year-old daughter LOVES this CD.. to the point that I've memorized all the words of the songs. It's a relatively short CD so in one car ride we can go through half the songs each time... I love that I can still remember the original and children's versions and sing both versions back and forth!

Highly recommended for adults and children alike!

5.0 out of 5 stars Neil never fails to entertain, February 11, 2009
By Gloria Lillibridge "Glotz" (Coventry, RI United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I enjoyed this CD of reworked lyrics to Neil's most famous songs. Such a cute idea for the young people. Neil is such a treasure and yet to be recognized by the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame.
