This review is from: Di grine katshke - The Green Duck - A menagerie of Yiddish animal-songs for children (Audio CD)

This is a wonderful CD with a booklet providing Yiddish, transliterated Yiddish and English for 25 songs.

It is a valuable resource not only for children to learn the language, but also for adults to enjoy to learn or

relearn Yiddish. I have used it successfully with pre-schoolers and adults in my Yiddish club. The music is

simple, melodic and spiritual.

I wish the lyrics were available on-line!

Will try the songs with my grandson tomorrow.

Thanks to the artists for such a loving piece of art.
