Timelessly terrific.......2006-10-03

I couldn't get my kids to listen to anything other than Sam the Whaler and Abiyoyo for about 2 years. They're just wonderful, timeless, story-songs. Now I'm looking for a CD version for my grandchildren.

great for the whole family.......2006-05-18

my dad played this music for me when i was little and now i'm playing it for my son. all of the songs are wonderful in their simplicity

Great memories.......2002-09-03

Listening to the song samples made me cry. This was my favorite album as a child and I can't wait to share it with my seven month old. I need to thank my parents for their good taste.... Leadbelly, Arlo Guthrie, Free to be You and Me......they bring back great memories.

A Treasure.......2002-08-27

I used to listen to this album as a little girl in the 70's and I now have the pleasure of sharing it with my 7 month old son. the songs are sweet, easy to sing along to, and you simply HAVE to dance to them! I sing the beautiful "One Grain of Sand" to my baby every night and he falls asleep to this fantastic lullaby in the car every time we play it. The stories are fun too. "Abiyoyo" will never drive you crazy, no matter how many times your child asks to listen to it...that's a promise. This album truly is a treasure.

Great for the whole family!.......2000-10-12

This cd is great for the whole family! We've been listening since before our 7 year-old was born. There are marvelous songs for newborns and toddlers-- This Little Baby is a sweet lullaby, and Sweepy Sweepy makes a terrific upper-body aerobic workout for new moms (gently swing the baby as a "broom" and act out the song). The story/songs like Abiyoyo and Sam the Whaler are wonderful for older kids. And adults don't get tired of listening to it over and over (which you surely will). Our 17-month-old can already say "Abiyoyo." I use the old tape a lot in my job as a librarian, especially in our story programs for newborn-to-24-month-olds. Pete Seeger is an American treasure and his musical art is timeless-- please pass it down to the next generation!
