Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com essential recording
When you play this CD's title cut to a preschool class, you'll immediately know by the wild gales of laughter followed by multiple requests to "play it again!" that you have a hit on your hands. The wonderful visuals of "cheese walking on its knees" and "beans trying on some jeans," inspired by Raffi's lyrical adaptation of the traditional tune, are sure to tickle young funny bones. Children will also enjoy adding their own verses to the menu of "Going on a Picnic," steppin' high with "There Was a Girl from France," and clapping along with Raffi's cover of the Woody Guthrie animal dance tune, "Jig Along Home." --Deborah Moore

it has stood the test of time.......2007-01-17

Raffi is still as appealing to young children today as he was in the late 80's when my son was small. His delightful approach to singing to children is still fresh. Bravo, Raffi.

Oh Please.......2005-11-02

To the previous reviewer: This IS music for a nursery! And Frere Jacques, very loosely translated is: "Brother Jack, are you sleeping? Come on it is morning."

I love Raffi and I don't even HAVE a nursery. I buy them for every little kid I know so when I go to their house I can listen, too! This is a particularly good Raffi CD and contains one of my favourites, "My Way Home". Only the Baby Beluga album is better than this one, although "Bananaphone" is worth the purchase simply for the song "Bananaphone".

I dont get what the big deal is..........2005-04-17

This sounds like something youd hear out of a nursery! This music has no redeeming values at all. Even if it was, it would be innapropreate for the children. If im right, fraire a' jaques means "come and sleep with me". That might be moulin rouge though. Honestly (COMMMENSE AND WE WILL DEFEAT THE QUINTON-TOES EMPIRE!) honk honk bussy be have your hunny swee, this song is the the only good one on the album

Silly, Happy Classics!.......2004-01-09

My children have listened to this CD for years and still play it. It's great for toddlers to second grade kids and adults. You will get your money's worth. Many of the songs are very funny. Some are just happy tunes that remind me of the better days of being a child. I like this CD. My children love it. All of the songs are great. I would call it a carefully made collection of likeable classics. Thank you Raffi!

This is a classic!

Special Music to Share with a Child........2003-10-07

This is special music to share with a child. I remember my children laughing and singing to silly songs like "Boom Boom (Aint it Great to be Crazy)," "Grocery Store," and "Here Sits a Monkey." Children really respond to this music. It's so full of life and energy.

Some of the songs really understand children: what they are like and what they like. This is great music to share with a child. It gets better and better the more we listen to it.

Raffi's 3rd album.......2004-09-15

this is Raffi's wonderful 3rd album that includes such interesting songs as "Le Zombies a la Loup-Gerous" (zombies and werewolves) Anansi (about a mischevious spider) and my favorite a kids version of the old folk song "Goodnight Irene". Enjoy.
