Silly Favorites

If you're the kind of person who occasionally needs to hear songs like "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt," this is the album for you. Silly Favorites collects 20 of these, um, silly songs in a collection aimed at children. The expected tracks are all here ("Apples and Bananas," "Tiny Tim," "Who Stole the Cookies?" and three renditions of "Be Kind to Your Web Footed Friends"), as are a slew of lesser-known ditties ("Ain't No Sin to Take Off Your Skin and Dance Around in Your Bones," "Do Your Ears Hang Low?"). Performed by an appropriately wacky contingent of adults and children, this is a wonderful collection for the nursery-school set. However, it can quickly become quite grating to anyone above age 8. --Randy Silver --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

Incredible Fun and Great Lessons!.......2004-06-17

As a teacher and educator, I have variety of children's music. These are by far some of the best CD's I have found in a long time. I use it for children of the very young up to Kindergarten and even 1st grade. Children love to be involved and actively engaged. The music is a collaboration of children and adults singing. It has even taken those treasures of long ago, provided a beat that is honestly contagious! As a mother of two older teens and an adult- this would have been a favorite in our house, that I am sure of!

This is one treasure that regardless of whether you are a parent, grandparent, aunt/uncle, teacher, substitute or caregiver - IT IS A MUST HAVE !!! It will be loved forever!

For a kid who could care less about music.......2003-04-14

Lets face it my kid does not get into music. He does The Wheels on the Bus but thats it. He will sometimes dance to this but not really. I shouldn't have wasted my money.

Good fun music.......2001-02-18

We bought this cd set because we were looking for some kid's songs for our 18 month-old son, Noah. He gets to hear kid's songs at school and we wanted him to be able to listen to different versions of the same songs at home. He loves all three CDs.

Before dinner is Noah's playtime and he loves us to put these songs on while he is playing with his cars. Sometimes he dances around to the songs. All three of the CDs in this collection are available separately, but the collection is really an outstanding value.

I am picky about music (okay, I'm a music snob) and I can actually listen to these tunes without wincing. (Well, most of them anyway.) That says a lot coming from a person who will not let them play Kenny G at daycare for fear of permanent damage to my son's musicality.
