5 out of 5 stars Ella Jenkins is still the best!.......2006-02-26

This is a wonderful CD to use with preschool and early elementary aged children. Music teachers and choir teachers will find these musical activities educational and a lot of fun! These were so much fun for me as a child and they're just as much fun now that I'm a teacher!

5 out of 5 stars Songs that you never forget; movement, rythm and instruments.......1999-11-13

30 years ago I used this in a preschool;you never forget the songs. I'm buying it now for my grandchildren so they can have the same fun, marching around to music and playing their instruments.

4 out of 5 stars Much too fast.......2005-04-13

Aage Haugland is fantastic, also as a narrator, but the tempos are way too fast on this recording. This is not what Stravinsky wrote. All the marches are written in tempo 112 and this is more like 120!! The recorded sound is very good and the musicians are excellent.
