Songs For Children
Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
Emmanuel Ghent wrote this collection of songs just after his youngest daughter was born in 1967. Now just 74 years young, he has released his first children's album! Ghent has composed and recorded other works, among them "Phosphones" and "Entelechy".
Album Description
"Songs For Children" is a collection of beautiful piano/vocal songs written for children of all ages (from 2 to 80!) As well as being enjoyable sing-a-long music the songs have a music educational value: contained within each piece are subtle hints about melody, harmony and meter. Unbeknownst to the children themselves, as they sing along they are learning all sorts of things about music. Within the 20 page booklet are specific notes discussing what each song illustrates about the different aspects of music, as well as a full set of lyrics. Now his daughter Valerie, a vocalist/keyboardist has produced the collection so that other kids and their parents can share the fun.
Songs For Children, Music, Emmanuel Ghent, These 23 captivating songs for children are both fun and educational, written for children of all ages. As well as being enjoyable, sing along music, the songs have an added value: contained within each piece are subtle hints about melody, harmony & meter

Lullabies lend themselves to woozy re-creations, a sort of endless repetition that flags under the weight of the concept (putting kids to bed for their much-needed sleep) and the lack of weight accorded to the music. You might expect a Disney lullaby collection to be on a par with the most mediocre collections, but this one is really a fine set. The tunes are standard--from the famous "Brahms Lullaby" to "All the Pretty Little Horses"--but they're uniformly excellent and creative, staying within the realm of acoustic music that sounds and feels organic. These are Disney-related tunes, for the most part, so "Stay Awake" is here, as is the whimsical "Sleep, Daddy, Sleep." Musically, the set is varied, steering away from a repetition of instrumentation or delivery. That makes it easily entertaining enough for back-to-back listens, which any parent will be asked for with this collection. --Andrew Bartlett

An ok Night time cd.......2007-07-14
I had this a long time ago when my now 5 yr old was an infant. I LOVED it then....not so much now. U can find alot of these songs by different artists on iTUnes
We LOVE this CD.......2007-07-10
A few years ago someone made us a copy of this tape and my kids played it over and over again until the tape broke. Thank goodness for CDs, because this one gets much use!
The only drawback (and it is not really that big a deal) is that my girls tend to sing along to the songs when they should be focusing on going to sleep! :)
I would not hesitate to recommend this one to my family and friends! We are very happy with this CD.
Wonderful !!!!.......2007-06-12
I spent quite some time searching for the perfect lullaby cd for my newborn daughter. I wanted lyrics. I purchased this one, and I LOVE IT!!! The songs are great, syrupy sweet. I listen to it at least twice daily and am not tired of it. My daughter already recognizes it when I turn it on, and it is a part of our bedtime routine. Wonderful!
Amazing memories of the past.......2007-04-14
I just can't believe this is still available! this is awsome!I had the cassette version for my son (20years ago) and still have it but no cassette player to play it (every this is cd now) so I'm going to definately order this as I have grandkids now and this worked a treat getting my kids off to sleep when they were little ......very soothing and has always stayed eatched in my memory.
the best one i've got.......2007-03-27
I have always been drawn to baby lullabies, but this is my favorite cd. I love every song it has in it. I buy this cd for all my best friend's children and they all love them too.

Amazon.com essential recording
Though recorded in the 1970s, this classic Raffi album is still one of the children's troubadour's bestsellers. The gentle, joyful style; simple musical arrangements; and easy-to-follow up-front vocals have made Singable Songs for the Very Young a favorite among tiny tots, parents, and preschool teachers. By combining traditional songs like "The More We Get Together," "Down by the Bay," and "Going to the Zoo" with Raffi originals like "I Wonder If I'm Growing," "Peanut Butter Sandwich," and a jazzy near-cover, "Old MacDonald Had a Band," the album has a familiar feel while giving young children the opportunity to learn new songs and rhythms. Other notable titles include the interactive "Brush Your Teeth," "Five Little Pumpkins," and the tongue-twisting "Willoughby Wallaby Woo." --Deborah Moore
Customer Reviews:
For a new generation.......2007-07-04
I bought this CD for my grandchildren to listen to. Our family, including their father, always listened to the original on long trips. My grandchildren love most of the songs too. My 6 year old grandson finds some songs "boring" but mostly they love it, just like their father did.
Fun songs to sing a long with baby!.......2007-05-03
My son really loves this. And I have to admit, it's infectious! I sing them to him at other times, too. For example, when it's time to brush his teeth, I sing that song. He smiles and opens his mouth wide to brush his teeth. If he gets fussy in the car, I know I can pop this in and he will settle immediately. I catch him smiling to himself, too.
High nostalgia level!.......2007-04-02
I have had Raffi music in my home for the last 30 years - my own 5 children have enjoyed his music and I have purchased Raffi CD's for all of my grandchildren as well. Raffi's simple yet interesting melodies and warm voice are like a cup of hot chocolate on a cold winter's day - comforting and delicious! Listening it to transports me to a time when my children were playing together and in the background was Raffi music and all was well in the world. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Here are some more Raffi titles, all recommended:Baby Beluga,Down By the Bay,[[ASIN:B0000003IO The Singable Songs Collection,Wheels on the Bus, (Raffi Songs to Read). Also enjoyed by my family: Sharon, Lois & Bram:Elephant Party
down by the bay.......2007-03-26
Down by the bay is a funny song and my teacher mrs. schneider has the whole song and the book and Really funny funny funny my mother say did you ever see a rhino kissing a dino down by the bay and really ever good
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.......2007-03-20
This album is amazing--still today. I "discovered" Raffi as a 30-something mother, and am thrilled. Some of the songs I knew from childhood, some are new to me, and all are completely delightful. Raffi's voice is warm and steady. The simple accompaniment is quiet at times, celebratory at others, and never obtrusive.
The album is a treasure. We keep it going (in addition to Susie Tallman volumes and Jack Johnson's soundtrack to Curious George) as a daily soundtrack.
My daughter (8 months) starts to dance and hum the minute it begins to play. She has heard it since she was about 6 weeks old. I love dancing with her and singing along as Raffi intunes, "The more we get together..." "Down by the Bay" is probably one of my daughter's favorites, and I love the sharing song.

Another wonderful Susie Tallman CD!.......2007-06-26
I purchased this CD after absolutely loving her Children's Songs CD. Her music is so much fun to sing, sway, and dance to. I own 4 of her CD's and enjoy them all for different reasons. They are arranged and performed beautifully. It was a delightful surprise to find music for our baby that my husband and I love too! Susie's music totally relaxes our son when he is upset. It is impossible to be in a bad mood when you turn it on! It will always be included in baby shower gifts from now on.
Lucy and baby Sam
Not as good as her other CDs.......2007-05-13
We love Susie Tallman's "Children's Songs, A Collection of Childhood Favorites" CD, so we ordered this one. It's not as good. The second half of the CD is basically people reading some nursery rhymes, not too original.
One of the best children's cds ever!.......2007-05-11
I checked this cd out from the library to play at my pre-school music class that I teach each week. I loved it from the first song because of all the different instruments used for background music, and then when I got to the rap song "Hickory Dickory Dock" I was laughing out loud. My kids in my class just loved it. I just bought the cd so I can play it for my own children and my grandkids.
LOVE LOVE this CD.......2007-01-05
Susie Tallman does a great job with this CD, my husband and I find ourselfves singing these songs way after the CD has been off.
For my 7 month old while his mom (me) is away playing army in iraq........2006-08-31

Customer Reviews:
GREAT for kids and parents, too!.......2007-04-13
I rarely write reviews, but just had to write about this amazing CD. It's not your typical kiddie-fare. My three kids (ages 4, 6, and 8) listen to this one over and over again, and my husband and I are hooked, too. We are not into jazz at all, but the songs here are so catchy and fun. It's cool enough that you could even play it at an adult function, and everyone would like it. In fact, I'm buying it for my mom, who is 64, because I know that she'll be singing it around the house in no time at all -- just like we do!
cute for kids.......2006-08-13
I bought "Nicky's Jazz Lullabies" before my baby was born and loved it, so I decided to purchase this CD. My baby is a little young for it yet, but it fun to listen to while we play. The songs are cute and catchy, and I'm sure she'll love it eventually. I'm a jazz lover and hope to introduce her to some of the greats. Plus, in my opinion, this beats those cheesy kids songs any day.
Everybody listens when they come to my house.......2006-07-25
This is a delightful program of songs that will please everyone with a garden of word-tune delights. My family and I loved it. We've played it over and over again for our friends. I bought it for several other children I know. They loved it. One 4-year-old is determined to learn every song. And that means learning lots of words, rhymes, syncopation, from great artists of American jazz culture. A verbal infusion for the young that is great fun.
A gem!.......2006-01-23
I rarely write reviews, but I need to comment on how fantastic this compilation is. I have a four-year-old and an eighteen-month-old, and this CD is in heavy rotation at our house. My husband and I love the music at least as much as they do -- it's stylish and sets a great mood as we're making dinner and doing dishes. The kids love it too, needless to say. My four-year-old's favorites are Three Blind Mice (she loves when the farmer's wife squeaks that she'll give back the tails) and the final track by Peggy Lee (where she says the word *poop*, as in "party poop" -- endless laughter ensues). Ella Fitzgerald's A-Tisket, A-Tasket and Chew, Chew Your Bubblegum are priceless. All in all, I highly recommend this CD -- everyone will be happy to hear it again and again.
One of the most under rated cd's on the market.......2005-05-03
This cd has won awards and delighted anyone who has listened. Why it isn't a requirement for kids learning about music, especially in the US where Jazz became Jazz, is beyond me. Perfectly charming songs from the best of the best who made Jazz, lots of passionate Jazz.

Tom T. Hall writes songs for children, he says, because they have a lot of the same interests, including the quest for simplicity. "One day I just found that we got along great. They understood me," he says. And in this compilation of songs from the '70s and '80s, Hall demonstrates his knowledge of the magic between children and animals and the thrill of taking a trip with the imagination, especially to Hall's own Fox Hollow farm, where such characters as Sneaky Snake, Randy Raccoon, and Ole Lonesome George, the basset hound, await. With the storytelling skills he gleaned as a child in the hills of Kentucky, Hall makes many of his songs into fables. "The Song of the One Legged Chicken," for example, teaches a valuable lesson about disability and difference. While other songs bring soothing comfort or merely raise a smile ("A mink wears a mink coat the whole year round"), and still others encourage play-acting, they all become treasures by the record's end. Packaged with a sing-along booklet. --Alanna Nash
Customer Reviews:
I loved this when I was a kid.......2007-02-27
My mom bought a Tom T Hall album for me when I was about 7, and I listened to it all the time (I'm now 45). I looked for this music for a while and never found it when my kids were small, now I'll buy it for my grand niece and several of my friend's small children, and one for me. This is simple, good children's music. I only wish more kids would listen to this kind of stuff.
Holds up after years and constant play.......2007-02-09
I always thought Tom T Hall was my friend when I was growing up and I still feel like an eight year old when I hear Sneaky Snake. These days, anytime a friend or coworker has a child from 3 to 10 I try to use this CD as a gift. Once it won over a suspicious 5 year old whose mother I was dating. Even though she thought Fox Hollow was spooky, she would "woof" along in time.
Very cool album to share with your children or to offer as a gift for a friend's child.
As great as my memories.......2006-11-10
This record was a childhood favourite of mine. It had been a number of years since I last heard it but I always remembered it with great fondness. Now that I have listened anew, I know why I loved it as a child. I still love it as an adult. The messages contained in the songs are great lessons for kids but the music can span the generations with its appeal. I would definitely recommend this album for grown-ups and children alike.
"Mommy...I want 'snake snake'".......2006-07-12
That's what I hear almost every time we get in the car. And on a recent three hour car trip we had "Sneaky Snake" on our CD repeat. This is a really great CD and my daughter loves it more than any other. She can sing at least parts of almost all the songs. I saw Tom T. Hall in concert once, years ago, and I would have never dreamed that my daughter would fall in love with his music, too. Buy it!
Tom T. Hall songs for kids.......2006-02-24
These songs have stood the test of time - I bought the CD to replace the LP so the next generation could hear them. Easy on adult ears - think of the opposite sound to the Chipmunks & you've got the idea.

Buy This CD!.......2007-07-13
If you are even browsing for a childrens/adult friendly CD with traditional songs about America, buy this CD. Almost every song brought back memories of myself in elementary school during the bicentennial. My 2, 4 and 6 years old all love it and ask to play it all the time. Be warned, however, after listening to it for 2 hours straight in the car, parents may tire of even the best songs.
Great.......2007-01-09
I bought 2 copies of this CD. One for our school and one for home. My children, (2 4 year olds and a 3 year old) just love listening to this in the car and they are now learning all the words to some great patriotic songs. Children relate very well to this music because it is young children singing rather than the typical adult choir. I would recommend this CD for any family with young children who want them to sing and be musically active!

This CD is wonderful. The songs are traditional versions of all the classic America sounds like This Land is Our Land. The kids that sing on the CD do a great job and the songs are easy to sing along with. My 10 yr old and 5 yr old beg to listen to it in the car and at home. The CD ends with the Pledge of Allegance which has taught my 5 yr old how to say it perfect. I highly recommend this CD for any house. I only wish it was split track.....it's not!
Love It!.......2002-12-01
This cd is wonderful. We have three generations that love this cd. The songs are great as well as the singing. Highly recommend it!

Woody Guthrie offered some sage advice in his liner notes to this collection of children's tunes. "Don't just buy this record and take it home so your kids can listen to it while you go off and do something else," the legendary folksinger counsels. Folk-music fans won't find it difficult to follow those directions. First released in 1956, Songs to Grown On, with its infectious spirit, is likely to prove irresistible to mom, pop, and 4- to 6-year-old tot alike. The likes of "Grassy Grass Grass," "Swimmy Swim," and "Wash-y Wash Wash" (detecting a trend here?) are as spontaneous and nonsensical as baby babble, and almost as delightful. So do as Woody suggested: pull up a chair and a kid or two and enjoy. --Steven Stolder

Loved it in 1978; Still love it in 2006!.......2006-03-16
I originally purchased Songs to Grow on when my daughter was born . . . way back in 1978. I continue to sing many of those songs to her today. "Grass, grass, grass, tree, tree, tree, leafy, leafy leaf, 1-2-3." I purchased three CDs so I could give them to my grand-nephew, grand-niece, and soon to be grand-daughter. The songs are not your typical children's songs, but they are much fun to sing and the kids love 'em!
Much loved by all .......2005-09-11
My brother and sister-in-L are expecting twins in the UK and asked me to send this to them so that they can learn some of the tunes before the babies arrive. I was curious, so bought an extra copy for my music loving children (2 year old and 5 month old). My bro, as usual, was spot on. The CD is top notch with wonderful songs that we all love to listen to over and over again, both my children respond to it as do all my friends who I have given this to as a shower gift.
Aptly Titled -- Easy and Fun to Sing.......2003-01-23
"Songs to Grow on for Mother and Child" is aptly titled. The first listen disappointed me sorely. The second pass through wasn't much more satisfying. Now, I love it.
Sometime between "Did I waste my money?" and now, I crossed the barrier to "Hey, hey, hey/Little Sack of Sugar/Ho! Ho! Ho!/Little sack of sweet." At first you will tolerate the songs, but in time, you'll catch yourself, as I have, humming the tune, mumbling the lyrics under your breath. Other songs, like "Swimmy Swim" will sneak into your heart. So will "I want My Milk (I Want it Now)."
Woody Guthrie's relaxed rural voice does his songs justice. These aren't "This Land is My Land" songs with the flavor of patriotic pride. These are children's songs with a folk-tint. Guthrie set out to write children's songs and accomplished that. They sound as if Woody himself took a recorder out to his porch some sunny Saturday and sang to his own children.
Fans of "The Wheel on the Bus" will love the repeating lyrics, and the simple music behind the songs. In fact, in many of the songs, like "I'll Eat You, Ill Drink You" have only a soft drum. It could just as well be a cardboard box he is strumming. Any parent will find singing these as afternoon a cappella playtime songs comfortable.
I fully recommend "Songs to Grow on for Mother and Child."

Heirloom Quality - It's a Keeper!.......2000-12-22
I grew up with this album, and have long wished I could get another copy - am I ever glad to see it back! I loved these songs as a child, and still remember them after 30+ years! They're fun to sing to, and even the youngest kids can pick up on their words and sing-song melodies, while they also remain fun for adults, time and time again. Not dated at all - they're absolutely timeless. And great for road trips! I can't wait to share these songs with my kids.
Not Just for 4-6 year olds!.......2000-05-05
I was looking for fun songs to sing with my 7 month old, and was tired of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. I igonored the "4-6 year old" recommendation on this, and I am so glad! My baby loves to listen to this, and we dance and sing along. The songs are easy to learn and fun to sing, with a beat that he can bounce to. When we dance to "I want my bottle" he laughs and laughs! I totally recommend this!

Album Description
These easy to learn activity songs are designed for pre-school and primary grade learners. They tap children's natural desire to move, sing and make-believe. From a tiny chick curled inside an egg, to the vigorous movements of a galloping pony, a full range of images and movement possibilities are explored. While clapping, stamping, turning, reaching, falling, throwing, catching, bending, twisting, crawling, walking, hoppping, running and soaring, the whole child is engaged in developing movement skills, enriching language, experiencing basic math and science concepts, and stimulating imaginative powers.

so big.......2007-05-21
I thought this cd was not bad, there are some great songs to use with your own kids, but I teach a mommy and me class, and I found this a little too repetitive and slow. Nice for really young ones.
Great CD.......2006-01-07
I wasn't sure if I should buy this CD because there are no samples available, but I did and it turned out to be a good buy. Hap Palmer sings good songs and has a soothing voice. My daughter is 21 months and likes the CD. My nephew is 5 years and loves the song Rock and Roll Freeze Dance. I recently purchased another Hap Palmer CD and I'm excited to hear it.
Best childrens songs!.......2005-09-08
My children love this cd. During our move recently this cd was misplaced and my children miss the songs. These songs are fun and silly. I even enjoy singing with my kids. The singing is not cheesy or irratating to an adults ears. If you don't have this cd you are missing out on the best cd for children.
so happy hap's here!.......2004-01-18
Hap Palmer's calming voice and catchy lyrics are infectous. Children can easily pick up the fingerplay directions in these songs.
Every song has educational & fun potential. A teacher/parent could use this cd to encourage gross motor skills, listening/following directions, learning body parts, etc, or just plain having a blast!
The titles are of the songs are easily remembered by kids ( I'm a pretzel, Jack in the box...) and soon you'll be fielding requests for their favorites!
Whether you teach or have kids or even babysit this cd is great addition to your collection.
Top Notch Music for young kids.......2003-04-18
I bought this tape to use with a pre-school class. Sometimes CD's do not meet my expectations. Not true with this one. It is excellent and I use it a lot.

Customer Reviews:
Just for kids?? No way!!.......2005-04-08
This is wonderful classical music. If the kids like it, great! But, make no mistake about it, this is good for anyone. This is wonderful study music, reading music, or just plain relaxing music. Highlights include "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers"; "March of the Toys" (from BABES IN TOYLAND -- the reason I bought this CD); "The Sorcerer's Apprentice"; "The Little Train of Caipira" (no longer little when the music is over); and the audience favorite "Hoedown" (i.e. "Beef, it's what's for dinner!").
If you're into that whole thing of classical music sharpening a youngster's intellect, then this won't disappoint. If you're just into good old fashioned classical music in general, it won't disappoint you either. Also, I highly recommend to both groups the classical CD BUILD YOUR BABY'S BRAIN.
The best classical album for kids!.......2002-12-12
This is a wonderful album. Very high quality, and every selection is beautiful. My daughter (who usually asks me to turn my classical music off) loves to pretend to gallop like a horse during "Rodeo" and march like a soldier during "Parade of the wooden soldiers". This is a pleasure for the whole family!
Great for Preschool Children.......2000-10-12
I use this CD with my preschool music group. The kids love it! This CD enables children learn about classical music without over extending their attention spans.

Songs To Remember.......2007-04-05
I have the original LP. I got in when I was in french immersion school in MD back in the late 70's. I am currently teaching my children french and am so glad to see this now comes on CD. I remember every song that I sang back in elemtary and the words of the singers so clear and the voices are such a delight to hear. This album brings back so many good memories. I cannot wait to share these songs wiith my children.
Delightful!.......2007-02-13
Our three boys (6y, 4y, and 2y) *love* this cd! We listen to it almost every day. The music is cheerful and gentle and the singers are pleasant to listen to.
Best Silly Songs for Tots.......2006-05-30
These songs are universally appealing to the 2 - 6 y.o. age group to whom I teach French. The arrangements are clear, sparkling, and very entertaining. The gregarious spirit of the album draws kids into repeating and singing along with little concern for content. As they become more interested and start asking questions, parents can find lyrics, and in some cases history, of these classic songs by entering titles into an international search engine.
Simply wonderful.......2005-11-03
I am so glad I bought this and will buy it as gifts for others. The musical arrangements are lovely (to mother, young child, and baby) and Lucienne Vernay has such a beautiful, clean and simple voice. What a delight to listen to.
Wish there were more like this for kids!.......2004-05-28
I thought the songs/tunes were very nice but couldn't understand most of the lyrics even though I took years of French in college and high school. My daughter (6) doesn't seem to care. Wish I could find more bilingual songs -- I highly recommend Global Village Kids Sing and Learn CD -- they have nursery rhymes in French and English. Since the words are familiar to my daughter, she can pick up the French meaning. Does anyone know of any more bilingual music like that?
