I searched and searched for some fun kids music that my 6 month old would enjoy, but wouldn't drive me up a wall. I found the individual CDs that make up this set (try searching for Music for Little People), which I was all set to buy, but then I found this boxset for half the price.
It's too bad Amazon doesn't let you listen to any of the songs because they're really quite good. There are several different singers, so you don't get sick of the same voice for 4 discs. It's mainly adults singing, but there are some children, too. Don't be scared off, however, the kids really add to the richness of the CD. It's nothing like the obnoxious CDs with a bunch of out of tune kids screaming along. Instead, they use the kids almost as separate instruments. For instance, the very first song on the first CD has the cutest little girl (I'm guessing about 3 yrs old), singing the first line of The Wheels On The Bus, then she stops and says, 'oops, I think I better wait for the music.' Then the song starts up with an adult singing. In another song, the singer asks if you can think of a rhyme, then you hear a kid chime in. Otherwise, you really don't notice the children.
As for the lyrics, they pretty much stick to the originals. There are some variations, but you often get that with folk songs. The only song I noticed that was drastically altered was Rock-A-Bye Baby. It's pretty awful, but one song out of 101 isn't bad.
I'll warn you, though, the songs very quickly work their way into your head. My husband and I were singing Monkeys on the Bed all weekend. But the important thing is that my daughter loves the CDs. She's obviously too young to really get into them or sing along, but when we were in the car and she was getting fussy, we started playing the CDs and she quickly calmed down. I think the boxset is definitely one she'll grow to appreciate as she gets older.

It has a lot of traditional nursery rhymes and songs. 4 discs means that my daughter has a lot of variety to hear. It is very age appropriate for her but sometimes I find the singers to be a little annoying as they try to make it cute instead of just singing the song.Free Music Review: 101?

Love the songs. My son knows all the words. Great for long trips. One grip, is disc 1 has 27 songs, disc 2 has 22 songs, disc 3 has 27 songs, disc 4 has 23 songs, my math equals 99, not 101.
