A Twinkle in Your Eye

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Known mostly as an actor (and as the great presence in 1962's Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer), Ives traveled the country in his youth, singing and learning traditional folk songs along the way. His warm, evocative voice is gentle and comforting, and works as well in a Mother Goose medley as it does on scary tales like "Old Witch, Old Witch." Lovely ballads sure to appeal to very young children include "The Moon's the Northwind's Cooky," "The Little Turtle," and "Where Have You Been?" Train-crazy kids will enjoy the "Two Little Engines" story and the musical version of the classic "The Little Engine That Could." The magical "Lollipop Tree" is irresistible, and older kids will love the silly "Lavender Cowboy" and will want to learn the words to "Wee Cooper O'Fife." Parents and folk fans can also take pleasure in this classic collection. --Lorry Fleming --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

LP recordings still best but in lieu--this is wonderful!.......2006-10-01

This man (I saw in person) sang for KINGS and PRESIDENTS (I forget how many but MANY of them including JFK) AND he compiled and SAVED many songs written IN AMERICA BY AMERICANS ABOUT AMERICA during it's building stages!

He sang in all of EUROPE (every country) plus Russia, and Australia!

HE was loved by millions! I grew up with him in a time BEFORE HEAVY ROCK and HEAD_BANGER music when you LISTENED to the words!

HE is BURL IVES and no one else and has his own way of singing. IF you like it--you'll love these songs==IF NOT--don't buy it! I grew up with him singing these songs and our daughters sang along with him. When we traveled in our car--it was HIS SONGS that we'd all sing together!

BUT---I still belive for REAL AUDIO--the LP still reigns--there is more "pixles of information" in a grove of an LP than in a CD and for classical or this type--IT (LPS) picks up ALL the nuances of the music and the instruments !

burl ives music is for all generations.......2000-08-18

What a thrill to find this CD.I grew up listening to Burl Ives,and still can see myself dancing around the house to songs like: Old Witch Old Witch and Lollypop Tree. In fact,my Mom still has the old lp record,and my 2 year old son loves to dance to the same Burl Ives songs and music,thats why this CD was a "must"for me.It's a timeless classic for young children,my son and I are proof of that!

A Twinkle In Your Eye.......2000-05-30

This truly does put a "twinkle in your eye" and the eye of the child who is listening with you. I play this over and over for my 3 month old grandson. We love it and he loves to hear the songs, even when Grannie sings along with the CD. This truly is a must for anyone with small children. I plan to buy each of my grandchildren one for their own home so they can listen to it anytime and not just at Grannie's house.

Singing the songs all day long!.......2000-02-09

I am extremely happy with this CD. The songs are so catchy. I bought it for the kids, but I love it just as much. I am singing the songs outloud all day long! These songs have great lyrics sung by the beautiful voice of Burl Ives.

Favorites from Long Ago.......2002-03-24

It's been said that Burl Ives travelled all over the United States, and remembered a lot of folk tunes along the way. Well, this is a great collection of them! My husband (the big burly ex-Marine) began to sing songs to the kids, like the witty "Lollipop Tree," the fun "Old Witch," the adventurous "Two Little Trains" and, long into the night with the most fussy baby, "The Moon's the North Wind's Cooky." I'd sit there thinking that he was making them up as he went along, they were so natural and sweet. It's good to see CD's like this come around-- yes, the Shel Silverstein type poems turned to music has it's place, but so do these songs-- a mix of dreamy fantasy and witty reality all in one set.

AN EXCEPTIONAL CD.......2000-09-05

I REMEMBER AS A LITTLE GIRL DANCING AROUND MY HOUSE TO THE WONDERFUL SONGS OF BURL IVES.WHAT A THRILL IT WAS FOR ME TO FIND THIS CD.NOW I WATCH MY 2 YEAR OLD SON DANCE, AND MY 8 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER LAUGH AND COO TO THE WONDERFUL SAME SONGS OF BURL IVES

A twinkle in your eye........2000-01-27

Burl Ives was A wonderful , fun singer in many Disney films such as So dear to my heart. He had a very friendly voice that can't help but lift your spirits! I do not yet own this cassett but am looking forward to it.
