Classic Nursery Rhymes


Okay, we admit it. We do become a mite desperate at times for someone (anyone) other than us to do the next round of Humpty, Dumpty. Susie Tallman, to the rescue. This CD has 37 (!) tracks of various nursery rhymes and other classic poems set to almost every imaginable arrangement, from rap to swing. There are a few old-fashioned favorites mixed in among the mostly Mother Goose fare, including ...

Victor Vito


The title track alone is so great that it justifies the purchase of the entire album. It teaches your child all the essentials -- how to sing fast, how to sing slow, how to rhyme Alaska and Tabasco! Kids love Laurie Berkner because she looks an awful lot like their own moms rockin' out in the living room - but she can actually carry a tune! And, well, parents love ...

At the Bottom of the Sea


We're simply bowled over by some of the tracks on this album! We can't pick a favorite, even if asked. Is it the charm of "Fly Me to the Moon" sung in a way Ol' Blue Eyes never imagined? Or is it the Memphis blues twang of "Clean My Room?" You won't be able to pick either, and your little one will quite practically answer: "They are all my favorite!" Read More >

De Colores and Other Latin American Folk Songs


What would "Twinkle, Twinkle" be without its tune? A lovely poem to be sure, but not the beloved song that is on the tip of every preschool tongue we know. So if you really want to get the hang of these wonderful Latin American verses, we highly recommend folk musician Jose-Luis Orozco's gorgeous compilation. There is much overlap here with the verses in ?P?Peep!, and more besides. Step aside, Raffi ...

For the Kids


This compilation album (and its companion second and third volumes) plays like a greatest hits of kid music. A lot of the songs themselves - "Mahna Mahna," "It's Alright to Cry" - will take you right back to your own childhood, but the artists are very much of your little one's era - Cake, Barenaked Ladies, and the like. (We are especially grateful to Barenaked Ladies for weaving the word ...

Meltdown


Good luck getting "My Brother Did It" out of your head. Trust us; one listen and you are sunk for the rest of the day. It is both catchy and deliciously true to life. Oh, and speaking of verisimilitude, beware the lyrics of "Meltdown" - they might cut just a bit wee bit close?. But who cares - whether it is the real world lyrics or the otherworldly sweet tone ...
