Excellent - for Parent & Child.......2007-07-30

Ah, the memories. So fun to listen to and sing along in the car.

Awesome.......2007-07-29

My kids love this CD. We listen to it in the car! Even my older children sing along. I recommend it to everyone.

So much fun!.......2007-05-31

Great CD! Reminded me of when I was a kid, and, my kids love it! Buy it! It's fun!

Useful Tools For Children of All Ages and Home Schoolers.......2007-03-14

This School House edition is used by my grand-children ages 6 and 4 and is very upbeat. Best of School House Rock captures the childrens imagination and remains as a vivid learning tool. My daughter learned many of the basics as a young person when the Videos of School House were available when she was younger.

Nice Collection, But Could Have Had Room For At Least One More Great Tune.......2007-03-13

This is a good collection of those catchy favorites, as I remember enjoying them as a wee lad, but there's certainly room for Lolly, Lolly, Lolly, Get Your Adverbs Here. Small gripe, but collections invariably leave out someone's personal favorite I suppose, and I always dug that one. Glad though that these educational (and musically well-crafted ditties) are on remastered CDs at last.

Customer Reviews:

Great Collection, worth getting over the original release.......2007-05-07

The sound quality is much better and it has Lips Like Sugar. Nuff said!

An Excellent Package With A Few Flaws.......2007-02-03

Here's the DVD tracklisting, since Amazon does not list it:

01 The Cutter
02 The Killing Moon
03 Seven Seas
04 Bring On The Dancing Horses
05 The Game
06 Lips Like Sugar
07 Nothing Lasts Forever
08 Rust

As with most music that I purchase sound quality is usually most important. This release does not disappoint! In fact, this is simply the best remastering I've heard on a Bunnymen release! With mastering by Giovanni Scatola, these songs sound even better than the 2003/2004 Rhino remasters. The music is crisper, louder, and more punchy. ("Lips Like Sugar" sounds awesome with it's roaring intro!) That's not to say that those recent remasters weren't good, but I personally think that the music sounds brighter on this compilation.

Next up we have the excellent packaging and tracklisting. Some fans may complain about the release being presented in digipak format, but I quite like it. Plus, we have the classic cover photo by Anton Corbijn. For a 1-CD collection, the release highlights 20 Echo & The Bunnymen classics from 1980 to 2005! We could argue what should and what should have not been included, but for the casual fan this sums up their history quite well.

My major complaint with this release is the 8-track DVD. Considering the list price, I think the DVD should have featured much more than 8 tracks. Surely these guys have more than 8 videos! How about including all their music videos?!?! Considering how most record labels work, this will probably be our only chance to get their videos on DVD for several years to come. It's only a random sample of their career! I guess fans will be left "You-Tube"-ing the rest!

Note that the package states "all promo videos are stereo except track 2 in mono". What is track 2? "The Killing Moon"! Unfortunately, Rhino let me down here. Why include all videos in stereo except this one? Not that it really mattered, considering the original audio tracks seem to have been used on all the videos instead of overdubbing newly remastered audio. That's why "The Killing Moon" video sounds poor and flat, besides it being in mono!

The recent videos sound fine, but they are mastered at too low of volume. Sounds like laziness! Do an A/B comparison between "The Cutter" as heard on the DVD video and "The Cutter" as heard on the CD. It goes to show how well the music has been restored for the CD and how carelessly flat it was left for the DVD. As for the picture, it is surprisingly excellent, considering the age of some of the earlier promos. Too bad the same care couldn't have been given to the underlying audio track. I expect better work from the Rhino team!

As a casual fan myself, I must admit that I still really enjoy this best of, including the DVD (despite the faults). It's the first time I've seen many of these videos. Add in the excellent CD audio, and it's a worthy package to add to any Echo collection.

long overdue.......2007-02-01

Finally we get an official video collection on DVD with this remaster of the 1985 release!

The original 1985 release of "Songs To Learn and Sing" was a must have for every college kid I knew back then. For some US fans this was the first album to expose them to the Bunnymen.

This expanded and remastered version picks up where the old one left off and then picks up again when they reformed with the UK Top 10 album "Evergreen" and continues to the 2006 release "Siberia".

My only complaint is that this is not in 5.1 surround sound.

Fabulous for any Broadway-lover.......2007-01-30

Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a gift to several friends with rave reviews.

Top Shelf.......2007-01-04

This is THE definitive collection of Broadway hits. I have other collections, and none of them measure up. A great deal of care was obviously taken in compiling and presenting this box set. It covers a lot of ground, starting with some long-forgotten but still very enjoyable hits from the days of yore, and finishing with present-day favorites. To the best of my knowledge, the recordings are by those who made them famous. You won't be disappointed.

TERRIFIC CD'S.......2006-03-23

THESE BROADWAY MUSICALS CD'S ARE A BROADWAY LOVERS DREAM. WITH EACH SONG, MEMORIES COME FLOODING BACK. BOTH THE FAMILIAR AND THE FORGOTTEN SONGS ARE A TRUE LISTENING PLEASURE. IF YOU LIKE BROADWAY, YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET.

Great Collection of Broadways greatest Songs .......2005-06-14

This Collection was perfectly made it has almost all the most famous Broadway songs on this 5 cd set. The Music is great and has Broadways greatest treasures like "Memory""People""With One Look""Give my regards Too Broadway" just to name a few of this numerous cd set with over 100 songs. This is a great buy if you like musicals or The music of Broadway

Great Compilation!.......2005-01-17

If you are a fan of the Broadway Musicals, this is a collection that you should purchase. Since I got the 5 disc set I've enjoyed listening to it. The majority of the songs are done by the original singers. The collection is priceless considering that you will have over 100 songs from popular musicals since the beginning of Broadway

Customer Reviews:

A great duo!.......2007-03-21

Keith Grimwood and his tall friend Ezra Idlet have been performing for over 30 years as Trout Fishing in America. They write the songs which they perform and they are truly an entertaining pair. Audiences will identify with the universal experiences in "My Hair Had a Party Last Night" and "I've Got a Friend (and He Won't Be Quiet)". My personal favorite is the song entitled "Bob And Bob" which is about two identical snowflakes (thus repudiating Keith's elementary school teacher who taught that no two snowflakes are alike.) Their songs have wide appeal and children will enjoy them as well as adults. These are two very creative and entertaining musicians who are lots of fun whether they are appearing in person or on a CD.

It is as if you are there.......2006-12-14

I've followed Keith and Ezra for years and years - seen many of their shows and own all their recordings. Before now, as great as their albums have been, I never felt they captured the magic of their live performances.

"My Best Day" changes all of that. I have no idea how he did it, but somehow Fred Bogert has managed to bottle the excitement and exuberance of this performance and made it available to all of us on demand with this album. Amazing job.

You should still take your kids to see a live performance if you get a chance. The whole family will come out smiling.

Simply outstanding and highly recommended .......2006-11-06

"My Best Day" is the latest CD album of children's music to be released by the Grammy Award nominated group, Trout Fishing In America (otherwise known as guitarist Ezra Idelt and bassist Keith Grimwood, who have been playing together and making music to delight and entertain children for more than 30 years). This simply outstanding and highly recommended contribution to family and community library music collections for young listeners was recorded before a live audience in an event sponsored by the Arkansas Educational Television Network where Ezra Idelt and Keith Grimwood were joined by multi-instrumentalist performer and Trout record producer Fred Bogert. "My Best Day" is almost like being in the front row of a Trout Fishing In America concert and includes the performances of I've Got a Friend - and he Wont Be Quiet (3:19); My Hair had a Party Last Night (2:57); My Best Day (3:37); Simon Says (4:48); Sailing (2:50); It's a Puzzle (2:41); Fill It Up (4:05); Alberta Postcard (4:55); Bob and Bob (3:47); Day Care Blues (5:30); Alien in My Nose (3:36); Something Sweet (2:11); Beans and Weenies (2;25); Murrell's (4:10; and My Pants Fell Down (2:13).

Go to a concert ,already, but if you can't buy this CD............2006-09-15

This is recording of a live concert they did in Conway, Ar.
Live concerts are absolutely what they do best.
If you are anywhere close to where they are performing-GO SEE THEM. We have driven 15 hours, walked three miles in the snow and braved 100 degree Texas heat to see them live.
I don't care if you are 4 or 40 -you'll have a great time.. They'll have you quacking like a duck, spinning around by your seat, craving Mexican condiments, putting up your Little Bunny Foo Foo ears, wishing you could juggle, saying tongue twisters, hugging your kids to sleep and counting in roman numerals (I am going to make my youngest a T-Shirt that says "I can count to 18 in Roman numberals and I'm only VI)."

So Grammy gods, are you listening.. this is a another great CD...

Fred Bogart plays with Keith and Ezra and adds a wonderful dimension to the music- a fullness and richness that enhances the fun.
"Fill It Up" is especially gorgeous with his guitar playing adding to an already lovely song. And who can imagine "Murrel's" without his jazzy piano?

Listening to the CD, it is obvious that the audience is having a blast-laughing, clapping, singing along. Don't forget later, you'll be able to buy the concert DVD and SEE that the audience is having a blast). The intros to the songs are very funny and get a great responses. I especially love the intro to "Day Care Blues". You'll have to buy it to see what Keith says.

There are two new songs on the CD which show that they haven't lost their touch. The songs are as funny and clever as their previous offerings. Of course, this just tantalizes us a little bit- an offering of completely new material would be wonderful. Or how about a dual kids/adult release?

Do not let the fact that some of the songs are on previous releases deter you from buying this- they have many new takes on the old favorites. "Day Care Blues" particulary stands out in this regard- it is a wonderful rendition. You can feel that kid's pain. "Sailing" is also a lot of fun with an audience and "Simon Says" is a quintessential audience participation song. We were having a great time getting very dizzy.

As usual, I am giving a shout-out to their wonderful musicianship. I defy you to listen to "Beans and Weenies" and tell me that's just three guys playing. Ezra's guitar playing rocks on "Day Care Blues" and Keith's voice sounds particularly nice on "Something Sweet".

So, all in all, a nice selection of songs. A nice way to catch a Trout concert and a fun time was had by all.

UPDATE DEC. 2006...
This has indeed been nominated for a Grammy. Congrats to the guys- they deserve it.

Album Description

This is the FIRST ALL NEW RECORDING OF JOHN RUTTER'S MUSIC IN TEN YEARS! "Mass of the Children was written in late 2002 and early 2003. The occasion of its first performance in February 2003 was a concert in New York's Carnegie Hall involving children's choir, adult choir, soprano and baritone soloists, and orchestra. I had always wanted to write a work combining children's choir with adult performers, not only because I find the sound of children's voices irresistible but also because I wanted to repay a debt. As a boy soprano in my school choir I had been thrilled whenever our choir took part in adult works with children's choir parts, such as the Mahler Third Symphony and the Britten War Requiem, and years later I remembered this experience and wanted to write something that would give children a similar opportunity to perform alongside adult professionals". From the notes - John Rutter

Customer Reviews:

Mass of the Children.......2006-03-24

My daughter is performing this work with her high school chorale. She is the main listener, and is totally enamored with this particular recording.

A Brilliant Masterpiece.......2005-12-24

After being able to perform this piece myself, I know that is is just amazing! I reccomend it to anyobdy who likes spiritual, uplifting music.
Nice work, Mr. Rutter!

Britten-lite :(.......2005-03-30

I contemplated on this 3-star rating for a bit, especially after reading all the 4- to 5-star ratings preceding this. John Rutter is a terrific and charismatic choral conductor and writer. His editing on Fauré's Requiem really galvanized the popularity of that work, not to mention his own very heart-felt Requiem setting as well. Speaking of Requiem settings, my bone to pick about the "Mass of the Children" work is such that it emulates (albeit in a heart-felt and sincere fashion) other large-scale works that involve orchestral, treble and mixed choruses, very specifically Benjamin Britten's unforgettable War Requiem. I couldn't help but feel a bit slighted by the last few pages of "Mass of the Children" and its much diluted rendition of the War Requiem's counterpart conclusion. I think those famliar w/ the Britten will know what I mean. It's hard not to draw a comparison because the similarities are striking yet determinedly contrived.

In any case, I do understand that the participants and "target audience" are perhaps less lofty than that of the Britten. According to the score inscription, this was "written at the inviation of Peter Tiboris and MidAmerica Productions."

There are other anthems on this CD that offer a nice addition. I think the Clare Benediction is a stand-out as a great latter-Rutter anthem, with a characteristically satisfying, fluent and "inevitable" cadences towards the end.

Outstanding!.......2004-12-27

As an avid choral enthusiast, and having performed The Mass of the Children, I can say that this is one of Rutter's finest works. Without a doubt, Rutter truly allows his soul to shine through in this masterpiece. The children's choir is fabulous, and the music gives me chill bumps whenever I hear it. I highly recommend this album!

Beautiful!.......2004-09-11

I sing with my school choir, and was blessed to be able to perform the Mass of the Children with the school. It is a beautiful mass-- the lightness of the childrens voices with the power of the adult choirs make a moving and powerful mass. The orchestra is stunning, just enough to add beauty to the piece.

The soundtrack to 2003's Piglet's Big Movie, from which Heffalumps borrows a couple of songs, played like a well-kept secret: Instead of stuttering along with Tigger and the gang, grown-ups got to match vocals with Carly Simon, who lent the bulk of the songs baby-blanket warmth and appeal. On this sequel soundtrack for which she was wisely recruited, she appears as honey-voiced as ever, coaxing a grown-up caliber performance out of a kids' orchestra on "Shoulder to Shoulder" and getting down to the kiddy nitty-gritty of "In the Name of the Hundred Acre Wood/What Do You Do?" Though Simon's sweet-natured contributions account for only around half the disc, with the other half returning us to fluffy Pooh staples, the energy expended on a bouncy-flouncy fun-fun-fun slog through "The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers" is well worth it. At home harmonizing rarely gets this good. --Tammy La Gorce

Customer Reviews:

We Love Heffalumps!.......2007-01-18

My 2 year old loves this CD, and constantly asks me to play it in the car. Songs 1-7 are from Pooh's Heffalump Movie and Piglet's Big Movie, and include a lot of the favorites from the film. There are tons of songs by Carly Simon, and we are constantly humming and singing them. It's a catchy bunch of tunes that I'd highly recommend. There are also some older classics to sing along to.

We all love it!.......2007-01-12

Half of the CD is Carly Simon recordings of Winnie the Pooh music, and the other half are old favorites from Winnie the Pooh. My kids love the songs, and so do I! My boys go around the house sometimes singing the songs, even when we haven't listened to the music for a while. So much fun!

Excellent collection for toddlers and parents.......2005-11-12

I would recommend this collection for anyone with toddlers who enjoy the pooh movies. It has all the catchy favorites mentioned, as well as the song luv-a-bye which I don't recognize from any of the pooh movies- and ultimately may be the best song for parents on the cd and a really nice lullabye that describes every parents wish to their kids as they put them to bed.

Best Pooh's Compilation Album.......2005-10-04

This is a wonderful compilation album featuring songs from "Pooh's Heffalump Movie," "Piglet's Big Movie" and the classic "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh."

I bought this for my two-year-old after buying "Pooh's Heffalump Movie." We especially like "The Name Game" (or "The Lumpy Song," as my daughter calls it) and "With a Few Good Friends." I like "Luv-a-Bye" as well, which is sweet and thoroughly singable -- I caught myself singing it alound in my office lunchroom last week!

Carly Simon's sweet, simplistic voice is perfect for the Pooh-related movies, and makes wearing out an album -- like we're doing -- "bear"able!

With a Few Good Friends / What Do You Do?.......2005-09-30

"The Best of Pooh & Heffalumps, Too" is sort of the official soundtrack for "Pooh's Heffalump Movie," but it also includes a great selection of songs from past movies and classics as well, some heffalump-related, some not.

The immediate stand-out of this album is "Shoulder to Shoulder," a wonderful, triumphant, cheerful track about the friendship that forms between Roo and the new Lumpy character from "Pooh's Heffalump Movie." Powerful music, strong vocals and great lyrics. It's been described as the "emotional high-point" of the movie and I couldn't agree more.

Some of the songs are very catchy and tend to get stuck in your head. "In the Name of the Hundred Acre Wood / What Do You Do?" is one of these --- it's the song that was used in the closing credits for "Pooh's Heffalump Movie." 'What do you do? / When something new / Crosses your path out of the blue...' very good stuff. Another good track is "With a Few Good Friends," from "Piglet's Big Movie."

Classics include the "Winnie the Pooh" theme (original version and version from "Piglet's Big Movie"), "Rumbly in My Tumbly" and "Little Black Raincloud." The total CD length is only about a half-hour, but the songs are so good, that it feels like it goes on pleasantly longer. And of course, you'll find it hard put to listen to it just once (or even just a few times.)

Customer Reviews:

A good compilation.......2005-09-12

This CD is a good compilation of Nick Jr songs-- especially some of the older shows that are no longer aired. My older daughter particularly likes this-- it helps her remember shows like "Gulla, Gulla Island"-- it was a favorite! My younger daughter likes the catchy tunes, and lyrics from Face and Blue. Its a hit with us!

Just Fun!.......2005-08-27

My Children Love this disc, my daughter runs around with it asking me to play it.

Our new favorite!.......2005-08-10

My three and one year old kids both LOVE this cd. They sing along to their tv favorites and like the ones that are new to them. It's really not too bad for mom and dad in the car either. A WARNING!!! Some of those catchy kids tunes will stick in your head all day and you'll find yourself singing "Oranges grow on trees on trees", but it's a small price to pay for peaceful car trips.

"Nick Jr. is just for me".......2005-07-04

Nick Jr. has been a part of our family since my oldest son Joshua was about 2 years old. I would sit down after breakfast with him and watch the shows that have become part of his childhood memories. Not long after, his sister was born and it wasn't long before she was fascinated with Blues Clues, Dora, Face, Gulla Gulla and many other shows with their easy to understand stories and songs. The children and I would sing and repeat the songs. Actually I would sing and they would listen and laugh. I still don't know what my wife was thinking all these years. Now we have a third child and he really gets into it. But then he's a chip off his old man's shoulder. This CD is great for travel, especially long distances where it keeps children concentrating on the songs instead of distracting me while fighting with each other.

So good I bought it twice!.......2004-12-12

I bought this for my son when he was two (he's almost four now) because he loved to sing the Blue's Clues songs. I was not familiar with some of the shows featured (Little Bill, Kipper), because we don't watch Nick Jr., only Noggin (no commercials! but most the shows are the same), but loved it all! So fun. Eventually, he got a hold of the CD and scratched it all up, and I missed listening to it with him so much, we bought it again. Another reviewer mentioned being disapointed that Gullah Gullah songs were included, and I just want to say that if you, like me, have seen that show and found it somewhat nauseating, don't worry, the songs from Gullah Gullah Island included here are way way fun! "I love to get my haircut, yes I do! I love to get my haircut, oh you know it's true, would you like to get your haircut, too?" He even loves the instrumental songs, and instantly recognizes them "Mom! it's the Little Bear song!" Bottom line, even if you and your child don't watch all of these shows and know their songs, you will still love this CD.

Should've Had Bocephus on it.......2006-02-07

In case you don't know who I'm talking about, "Bocephus" is the nickname for Hank Williams Junior. This cd is awesome, but if they had put Hank on the album, it would've been perfect. I say this because, in my opinion, Hank Jr is the country artist in the history of country music, period. George Jones was a great pick for a duet partner with Kathy Mattea on the song "You've got a friend in me", but personally, I would asked Hank to sing it instead. I guess that's because I think that Hank has the most unique country-singing voice that I've ever heard, and also because the style of musical arrangement for "you've got a friend in me" sounds kind of like "Family Tradition". At least, to me, it does. (Listen closely to both songs, and you'll notice the similarities and differences). When I heard George Jones singing his part on the album, I could easily hear Hank singing it instead. All that said, the cd is still awesome. I don't much care for Collin Raye's or Tanya Tucker's recordings here, but the album is still definitely worth the money I spent to buy it. In fact, I think the Disney company should put out another country-Disney album like this, and have some of the new country artists on it, and stop putting out this "Disneymania" bubble-gum pop crap that they've been putting out in the past few years.

BEST CD.......2006-01-13

I've been a DJ in country bars for the last 15 years. When this CD came out, I had to have it. I figured it would be just for my personal enjoyment, but I found that these versions filled my dance floor. Pam Tillis' "Colors of the Wind" is a crowd favorite and in my opinion she owns that song now. "Kiss the Girl" by Little Texas is still a favorite for the County Line line dance.

The Best of Both Worlds.......2003-04-28

This CD has everything. If you love country, it has twelve songs sung by different country singers and groups. If you love Disney, it has some of the best known Disney songs ever. The singers picked to sing each song are phenomenal! A different review pointed out that you don't need to be a lover of Disney AND country to love this, because you can truly appreciate this CD for what it is, some of the most beautifully sung Disney music out there. Oh, and if you feel that you've heard these songs too many times anyway, you should also know this. Some songs, especially SOME DAY MY PRINCE WILL COME, have been redone completely. I'd actually have to say in that case it was an improvement;) But don't just take my word for it. Listen and enjoy!

An unlikely combination far better than I expected.......2003-03-30

The nineties yielded many tribute albums by country artists. I bought several of them, but I avoided this one for many years. No way could I imagine that this album would be for me, until I discovered this site and read some of the reviews. On the basis of some of those reviews, I bought this album and discovered that it is a masterpiece. It is ostensibly a children's album, but none of the songs are obvious children's songs. All the songs would comfortably take their place on standard albums by the relevant artists.

It is hard to pick out favorites, but Tanya Tucker is in her element singing Someday my prince will come, while the pairing of Hal Ketchum and Shelby Lynne on If I never knew you is inspired. Faith Hill's performance on Part of your world is flawless. Bryan White closes the set with a magnificent rendition of When you wish upon a star.

The songs are all from Disney movies. There are two each from Pocahontas and The little mermaid, plus one each from Beauty and the beast, Snow white and the seven dwarfs, Dumbo, Aladdin, Toy story, The lion king and Pinocchio.

This collection caused me to revise my attitude to children's music. Sure, there is a lot of it that is definitely unappealing to adults, but there are some really great albums out there which will appeal to everybody. This is definitely one of them. Oh - and if you don't like country, don't worry. This is a well-crafted album that should appeal to country and non-country fans alike.

Country Disney.......2002-01-09

Love it! Love it! Love It! Best Disney tape. My grandchildren listen to it all the time in my car and they are age 7,13, 15, and 23. We all sing along for hours playing it over and over and over again.

Looking for "different." Look no further!.......2006-01-14

I have this CD and Can a Cherry Pie wave goodbye for my 3 1/2 and 15 month old and we LOVE it. The instructions are clear and gives the children enough time to move to the action. They have learned so much and are having so much fun while learning. Sometimes, I will pause the cd to give them time to answer. We do not listen to the cd from front to back, but I select 2-4 songs to listen to a program them into the cd player so that the kids don't get bored of it. The music is great (no rock or rap that preschoolers and toddlers cannot understand), but not your average Toddler CD.
We Love the title song as it teaches early phonics and recognizing that words start with a letter. I don't turn to the CD to teach my kids everything, but use it as a supplement to my teaching.

disappointed.......2005-08-28

I was looking for music that will help my students learn the sounds of the alphabet but to my disappointment there was none included in the album. Anyway, I said it was ok cause because it teaches about other things too like shapes, letters etc. But I was just not inspired by the music. It was not as lively as I expected and it sounded like country music to me. I know the type of songs that will really get my kids excited and this is just not it.

These aren't your run-of-the-mill songs!.......2005-04-12

I am always looking for innovative Childrens Music CD's and I was excited to fall upon this real gem. As you can tell from the title, Hap Palmer has a great sense of humor and imagination. I like music CDs that don't have the same ol' kid songs that we all know and have heard again and again. Instead, I like exposing my children to a lot of fun new songs. Not only are they more interesting to listen to, but I love to see how fast their great little memories can learn these new songs. You get everything in this CD! Part of the songs are pure fun and the other part mix fun with learning.

Some of the great fun songs include the title song "Can a Jumbo Jet Sing the Alphabet," "What Could a Bean Bag Be," and "The Compost Bin." His learning songs teach shapes, sound blends, and rhyming. I love "Letters in the Blender" and "Fun with The Rhyme Time Band" as well as "Jig Along Shapes" and "Action Fraction."

As you can see from reading the titles, these aren't your run-of-the-mill songs. Hap Palmer has a great talent at creating songs that are interesting to listen to and fun to dance with. This hour long CD is definitely worth it and will quickly become your family's favorite tunes! --Denise Steele-Darnell

Highly Awarded Early Childhood Music Pioneer.......2004-01-11

Hap Palmer has been honored with many awards for his music for young children. He is a pioneer of pairing movement and music, and integrating basic educational ideas into music. His music interests me as a parent.

So my family and I have made a point of listening to his music, mostly by loan through our local library. Unfortunately, we do not like his musical style or voice very much. Most of his albums are not singable or melodic. I praise Palmer for making music that is good for childen and not like most commercial "junk food" children's music products that are on the market, but we just don't like most of his songs.

"Can a Jumbo Jet Sing the Alphabet" is one of the exceptions. The songs are interesting and fun to listen to. We like this CD. Plus, the messages are good for children, like most Hap Palmer albums. Thumbs up!

RECOMMENDATION: I suggest that parents start with CD's by Raffi. Then consider this CD. Hap Palmer's music is especially valuable if you use it to interact with your child, such as moving and thinking. Palmer's music is quality.

Can A Jumbo Jet Sing the Alphabet?.......2001-01-25

I am a volunteer storyteller for two year olds at the local library. After story time we danced to "Everybody Dance" and "The Bean Bag". The children and the parents were so excited when we finished that they broke out in cheers! I'm ordering my own copy of this CD today and so are a half dozen other parents and caregivers!
