5 out of 5 stars move over, elmo.......2007-04-22

I was first introduced to this CD at storytime in the library. The songs are so mellow and refreshing. I also recommend 'catch the moon' by Lisa Loeb and Elizabeth Mitchell. Until we got wiggleworms, this is the only kids/parents CD that I could tolerate. My mother-in-law bought an Elmo CD for my son, and I want to poke something sharp in my eye 2 minutes into listening to it. This CD, however, is so much fun to sing along with and easy to play over and over again. Thanks, wiggleworms!

5 out of 5 stars A very good substitute for the class.......2005-07-09

My son and I attended Wiggleworms from when he was 6 months to 1 year old. These songs by the Old Town teachers are terrific for kids - my son who is now 18 months loves the energy and folkiness of these songs! It's almost as if we were still there in Old Town enjoying Lisa D. live. This is a must have CD - especially for the Old Town fun twist on Itsy Bitsy Spider and Old MacDonald. Music is now one of the only things that will calm my toddler during one of the infamous toddler meltdowns - in other words this is highly recommended!

5 out of 5 stars great for any age!.......2005-01-02

we have a 7 week old and we found out it's not too early to start singing these songs to him. my husband and i have a blast listening and singing along. we like the fact that they have a couple of different versions in spanish and french on the cd! we wish there was more for the little wiggleworms!

5 out of 5 stars THE BEST!.......2004-10-26

We saw the other reviews, and thought it could be pretty good. we were wrong, IT'S GREAT. We listen to it with our 2 year old everyday. He's learned a lot of the words in the songs and created his own dances to some. The music is not overly syrupy like a lot of music for toddlers. We love the acoustic guitars.We just ahve one question- when are they going to make another one???!!!???

5 out of 5 stars Most Tolerable Kid's CD Available.......2003-11-22

An instant hit for both the parents and the child in our household. I'll be giving this to all my friends for Christmas. The songs actually make me want to participate in song with my child. Good for the inner child!
