A Treasure For Parents & Toddlers.......2004-07-15
At age 3, one grandson had all the songs memorized. This grandmother in her sixties provides all the grandchildren and their friends with this CD and the others in the collection. A mood lifter, an educational tool, an all around great CD for all ages. The musical arrangements are fantastic.
Kids will love it, parents will love it.......2004-03-07
My kid LOVES this CD. Yours will too!!!.......2003-03-07
So--when at the local library I spied this CD, I borrowed it. Oh my gosh. My son just LOVES this thing. Especially the songs with sound effects--but in other songs he hears the key words: train, railroad, etc. He is only 2 years old--so the focus of this CD on one subject, his favorite subject, helps him to appreciate all the songs--not just the ones with a whistle here, a bell there, etc.
Finally, I have to say that even I really like the CD. It is some old standards mixed with new songs--but almost always in a style that an adult can stand to listen to. Coffey has a nice voice--and he is not a gaggle of kids singing nursery rhymes. It is really a nice break from that kind of kids music CD. A couple songs are a bit new-Jazzy, and while not bad are just not MY cup of tea. But others include very tasteful folky sounding songs and some straight ahead foot-stomping real travelin' music, if ya know what I mean.
From 2 to 92 years old, nobody will be offended, and many will be happy to hear old favorites and tasteful music that kids (and big kids) who love trains will love. Buy this CD if your kid is into trains.
