Products sampled from this guide:
Good for babies on up:
Victor Vito and anything else by Laurie Berkner. The whole family will be madly singing "Let's Go Swimming"
Nursery Days and Songs to Grow on for Mother and Child Woody Guthrie
Birds, Beasts, Bugs & Fishes Little & Big: Animal Folk Songs and American Folk, Game and Activity Songs for Children Pete Seeger (he's
into the long titles)
Smithsonian Folkways Children's Music Collection (this repeats some
Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger selections)
Rocket Ship Beach and anything else by Dan Zanes and friends
For preschoolers and up:
At the Bottom of the Sea and anything else by Ralph's World. Counting the wheels on a big rig in roman numerals rocks.
Philadelphia Chickens Sandra Boynton's brilliant songs with an star-studded cast.
Free To Be ... You And Me (1972 Television Cast) (only when parents will welcome 70s feminist
nostalgia) and Thanks & Giving All Year Long (Companion CD) Marlo Thomas and friends
No! They Might Be Giants. If you loved them in the 80s your kids will now.
Singin' in the Bathtub John Lithgow, an eclectic mix of songs with that inimitable Lithgow style
School Age/Special Interest
Beethoven's Wig: Sing Along Symphonies and its sequels, Richard Perlmutter, silly lyrics set
to famous classical pieces
In Harmony: A Sesame Street Record Various Artists. This is a relatively unknown and esoteric
choice, but I think it's worth it for Livingston Taylor's "Pajamas" alone.
Jim Copp Tales Jim Copp and Ed Brown. An oldie but, you guessed it, a goodie--Miss Goggins and the Gorilla is a riot.
Woody's Roundup: A Rootin' Tootin' Collection of Woody's Favorite Songs Riders in the Sky, good even if you haven't seen Toy
Story 2
A Year with Frog and Toad (Original Cast Recording) Great translation of the stories into songs. Fun even if you didn't see the show.
