Nursery Rhymes and Nursery Songs (Children's Music)

Parenting Magazine, August 1, 2002
Two concert artists recreate 46 Victorian nursery rhymes and songs with voice and piano. ...A sumptuous collection.

Product Description
Winner of the coveted Parents' Choice Approved Award, June 2002! "A sumptuous collection." - Parenting Magazine, August 2002 --- Composed and arranged by Sir J.W. Elliott, "Nursery Rhymes and Nursery Songs" was first published in the 1870s in London and quickly became a fond part of childhood for millions of children for more than a century. Recital singer Robin Hendrix presents the first recording of this wonderful music just as Sir James conceived it. The songs contain lyrics from Mother Goose's nursery rhymes and from popular English children's poems. The CD cover is an eight-panel foldout containing some of the charming engravings created especially for this music by the famed Dalziel Brothers studio. This recording is a unique and delightful means of introducing good music to young children.

At the time this music was composed, the nursery rhymes were already well known in England, but the new settings helped establish the collection as a national treasure. In addition to the nursery rhymes, the nursery songs give a charming glimpse of an idealized childhood at the height of the Victorian period. Some songs show the gentle humor of the time ("Three Children Sliding"), while others were used to convey morals ("Maggie's Pet", "Mother Tabbyskins"). The quality of compositions like "When the Snow is on the Ground" and "The Spider and the Fly" brings to mind composers like Schubert and Gilbert & Sullivan.

Great Children's CD.......2007-07-12

I grew up listening to these songs on an old record that my parents had. We lost the record and I searched for these songs for my new little baby girl. I am so happy that I found it on Amazon and that my baby girl gets to grow up with the same classics that I did when I was a kid. The CD is wonderful and the price was even better.

Aww the good old times!.......2007-06-18

I grew up with this music!! My dad bought the records when I was little, YES records! Im 25yrs old so this was the late the 80's when he purchased it. Now I have the opportunity to introduce this to my children! I'm so glad they are continuing to sell this music because I loved it as a child. I still remember taking the records out and asking my parents to play it.

Walt Disney CD: Characters Do Not Sing.......2007-06-06

I'm a little disappointed. I purchased this CD thinking The Disney Characters would be singing the songs. My son was all excited when I showed him the CD and asked me to play it. When he heard it he said "this is not Mickey Mouse". He was very sad. The songs on this CD are sung by children. The CD is ok.

Garbage.......2007-05-13

Really very boring and campy - I can't bear to listen and wish I could return it. In fact all of the Disney Lullabuys and children's songs were downright horrible. Stick with Baby Einstein, Rock a Bye Baby and Just for Kids - Curious George is great too

Yeah!.......2007-03-04

Much better than all of those other randon baby CD's where all of the songs sound exactly the same and sound like they are sung by chipmunks!!

Great Songs, Great Memories.......2007-07-31

This is a great collection just for the songs themselves. Even better, the whole song is included, not just a verse or maybe two. And the lyrics are clear, important for aging memories. I look forward to sharing the whole set with my grandchildren.

Great fun!.......2007-07-18

My daughter (11) and nephews (8, 1) all love this CD. The older kids have fun singing & dancing with the baby, and the baby loves to listen to the CD by himself as well.

Great songs!.......2007-02-11

My kids love these volumes of Children's Favorite Songs, as do I. The arrangements and voicings are child friendly without being dull.

Chirldren's Favorite Songs Vol 4 Walt Disney.......2007-01-11

Great songs on this CD. Nice variety, wonderful singers. My grandchildren want it on in the car every time we go out. Lots of old favorites that I like too.

Great songs, but this collection has many country-style songs.......2006-12-02

This CD is tolerable. We own Volume 1 and love it. I bought this one specifically for one of the songs it contains.

My son loves it, but a note to parents - this CD has a country music feel to it.

Volume 3.......2007-08-07

Gave this as a gift for my one year old grandson. He absolutely loves it and immediately starts dancing when the music begins. I also gave hime Volumes 1 and 2 and he likes those equally as well.

Fun Sing-Along CD for everyone!.......2007-07-13

This compilation of children's sing-along songs is well put together. The male voice who sings these is sprite and chipper. Much better than a group of off-key kids singing children's songs! I thoroughly enjoy listening to this and singing them with my kids.

Wonderful product.......2007-05-20

My baby loves this music CD. It was very nicely made and produced.

Great CD.......2006-01-07

I have all four volumes and think they're all good, but volume 1 is the best.

Great Traditional Music.......2005-08-18

I had the Disney Songtape edition of this album when I was a kid. I have always love the Disneyland Children's Sing-Along Chorus on this album. I also had volumes 1 and 2 on record. When i got older i realized that Larry Groce was the lead singer. He had a hit in the 70's called Junk Food Junkie on the Dr. Demento show. I reciently bought all 4 volumes on CD. I like to listen to them while I work. He also did the Disneyland Little Golden Books Read-Alongs. That is Where "Why Do The Make Things Like They Do" comes from and "Thumbelina" On Volume 2. I wish the re-issued the series with the the Original Record Cover Pictures. They had the Disney Characters acting out the songs.

This is great for Disney fans because it gets away from the common Mickey Mouse songs. I love them at 23 years old.

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

Split-track.......2002-05-22

We received this recording as a gift and have really enjoyed it. You may notice that the songs are listed twice, giving you about 50 tracks. The second recording of each song is made available in split-track, which means the music is in one speaker and the children singing are in another. If you adjust your stereo balance to only include the music, you can sing along without the children's voices in the background. As a new parent, I've never seen this anywhere else but on Beatles records, so I thought it was kinda neat. Happy singing!

Just Wonderful.......2000-05-18

I heard them online and thougt it would be good for my daughter and I was right. This CD contains Children singing very clearly and the music is a clasic. This is a great CD for anywhere. My daughter listens to this CD and the Preschool Tunes and Silly Songs CD's constantly.

My 19 month old STILL loves this CD!.......1999-12-30

This has been my daughter's favorite CD since she was fourteen months old. She loves to dance and go through the hand motions for the songs. She gets really excited when she hears the first song and dances all the way through to the last. I lost the CD at one point and came right back to Amazon.com to buy a replacement. It's a must in our house!

the best children's CD I have heard.......1999-10-30

This CD has fun, engergetic songs that you and your child will love to dance to. You might even find yourself singing them when your child is not around!! :)

My daughter dances to every song!.......1999-10-07

I have been playing this CD for my daughter since she was five months old. Now, at 18 months, she dances and wiggles with glee at the first note. Plus, it is children's voices that are singing the songs and she totally connects. If you have to listen to kid songs, and you know you do, this one is palatable.

Album Description

MAKE LEARNING FUN With songs that your child already knows and loves

NURSERY RHYMES IN BOTH ENGLISH AND GERMAN
Your child hears the words in English and in GERMAN!

BOTH MUSIC AND FOREIGN LANGUAGES HAVE A POSITIVE EFFECT ON YOUR CHILD'S ABILITY TO LEARN

The experiences that a child receives in the first few years after birth are crucial to his or her ability to learn later in life. Connections between neurons are formed during infancy and early childhood. These connection or "synapses" constitute the wiring system of the brain. Studies have shown that both music and exposure to a foreign language stimulate these synapses. In addition, experts recognize that early exposure to a foreign language makes learning easier. In fact, emerging research has linked higher SAT scores, enhanced creativity and problem solving skills to a child's proficiency in a foreign language.

An ability to speak more than one language not only improves learning and creativity; it enhances greater understanding and awareness of people from different cultures.

So be a Global Village Kid and open the door to a bigger world!

The lyrics were translated literally, to the extent possible. Slight adjustments to the pronunciation of some words were musically necessary.

Painful!.......2007-06-12

The singer's voice and her rolling "r's" are absolutely painful...and so is the German!
The CD deserves no star, just a swift kick in the garbage.

DO NOT BUY.......2007-05-13

i've never written a review before but i feel the need to issue this warning: another reviewer said that the singer had an accent and really, the german is so bad it is almost impossible to understand. there is no way a child will learn german from this cd. it is actually quite shocking- i'm not sure what the producers of the cd were thinking, they entirely missed the point. the music itself is highly unoriginal and cloying too. sincerely wish i could return this one.

I wish I had listened to the tracks...........2007-01-09

This lady's voice will drive you to tears. Please save yourself the torture.

Although, it is fun to hear these songs in German. German is so fun!! But this lady's voice just kills it for me.

... and that's still one star more than it deserves........2006-11-20

Whoever translated it, did so one word at a time, which not only means that the syllables don't match and you can't sing it to a tune designed for another language, but it also means that, because German grammar and sentence structure are different to English grammar and sentence structure, much of it no longer makes any sense.

What's worst though is that they chose a singer who apparently does not speak German. If the words weren't printed in the CD booklet, half the time I wouldn't know what the woman is talking about; her pronunciation is appalling.

What a waste of money. I bought this to have my son hear other people than myself use German, but now I'm wondering whether I should sell it used to some other poor, naive and trusting person online or whether I should simply toss it in the garbage.

northwest mom.......2006-09-18

my kids love it. I put it on in the car while driving. I know it isn't the best learning tool to teach 'exact' German, but my kids are familiar with the American tune, and remembers it because of it. I know they are 'learning' the foreign words when they say and sing back/ repeat the german tuned words.

Very poor French.......2006-03-08

It was immediately apparent that the woman singing has a very strong Spanish accent (note the rolling of the "r"s). I liked having the lyrics so I can sing the American songs in French to my kids but it's not worth $15.00. And unlike a lot of the kids toddler music, I can't tolerate any more than a couple of songs because the singer has a very high, bordering on screechy voice. Universe of Song-French is wonderful and I highly recommend that instead of this CD. This is truly a waste of money.

Great idea, very poor French!.......2005-10-17

I purchased two copies of this CD for my 4 year old twin daughters' classrooms after reading the reviews on this site. One of the teachers immediately put it on and, as a native French speaker, I was quite horrified to hear the singer's French version of each song. The children in the class reacted with great enthusiam because they recognized the songs in English, but the French was very hard to understand and the pronunciation was really not up to par. I wouldn't have purchased this CD if I had heard it ahead of time. I still gave it three stars because I love the concept of translating familiar English songs into a foreign language. I've been using this technique to teach the children in my daughters' classes French since last year and young children really respond well to that. If they used a native French speaker for the French parts this would be a superb CD.

Great bilingual CD!.......2005-08-27

This is a beautifully produced CD - the singer's voice is lovely and the music is very catchy. The CD includes bilingual lyrics so it is like having a bilingual book of nursery rhymes included "free." I highly recommend this product!

It's OK.......2005-08-12

Hi!

This CD is OK. The singer is very 'operatic' and not really accessible to my child. They don't include the lyrics so I can't sing along as I am a speaker of French as a Second Language and I had difficulty understanding what she was singing.

I have other language/song CD's that I like a lot better like "C'est Si Bon". A lot more fun and 'danceable' for small children.

Happy mom of 2.......2004-05-15

Love the Global Village Kids series. We have 3 (French, German, Spanish), and would purchase more if we know of them.
Songs are familiar rhymes that my 5 year old sings in English. He tries to sing the song in the language that is playing. He begins to learn the foreign words with the words that he knows the song in English and teaches himself. He amuses himself as well as me. My 2 year old loves it too. He seems to calm down in the car when I turn in the CD. Great for travelling and doing my car errands. Educational for the kids. Worth it.

This CD is The Cat's Meow!.......2004-11-15

I have been listening to Disney Children's Favorites since I was four years old. Mr. Groce is a wonderful singer, and his voice is very soothing and sedating. I recently bought his second album last month and it is a hit!!!

Great but..........2004-08-31

There is nothing Disney on this CD. It is deceiving to put a picture of one of the Disney characters on the cover of these CDs. So if you are looking for a Disney character CD, you should look elsewhere.

Aside from that, though, the music is great and my children enjoy it thoroughly.

Great choice!.......2004-07-30

This is a great cd to own. My daughter and I listen and sing along on all car rides...she loves it! I am back to buy version 2&3 today. The songs are fun and upbeat...the voice is pleasant to listen to. Very highly reccommended

Maryland Mom.......2003-08-06

I drive my two kids (ages 2 and 4) to daycare back and forth every day - about a 20 min. drive each way. They are fully entertained with this CD. They really enjoy it. I also have volumes 2-4, and they're all good. Mr. Croce sings most of the songs so that does get a little old, but his voice is pleasing enough that I enjoy listening to these songs too. I recommend these CD's to anyone who has long (or short) trips in the car with small children.

Great Sing Along Primer.......2000-03-01

This CD contains songs familiar to the baby boom generation who were raised prior to MTV. The recordings are mixed well, and the lyrics are easily understood. We find ourselves listening to the same songs without boredom. Our daughter seems to enjoy them as much as her parents. This is our favorite of the four Disney CD's.
