Free Music Notes for Singable Songs For The Very Young: Great With A Peanut-Butter SandwichFree Music Review: High nostalgia level! Hit: 5 Stars
I have had Raffi music in my home for the last 30 years - my own 5 children have enjoyed his music and I have purchased Raffi CD's for all of my grandchildren as well. Raffi's simple yet interesting melodies and warm voice are like a cup of hot chocolate on a cold winter's day - comforting and delicious! Listening it to transports me to a time when my children were playing together and in the background was Raffi music and all was well in the world. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Here are some more Raffi titles, all recommended:Baby Beluga,Down By the Bay,[[ASIN:B0000003IO The Singable Songs Collection,Wheels on the Bus, (Raffi Songs to Read). Also enjoyed by my family: Sharon, Lois & Bram:Elephant Party
Free Music Review: Possibly the Best Children's CD Ever. The Benchmark. Hit: 5 Stars
This is an outstanding CD. From what I have read, it was huge when it first came out and "wrote the book" on children's music that is educational, fun and just perfect for kids. A true classic.There is so much variety and quality here, from the nice trumpet solo in the silly "Robin in the Rain" ("Running in the garden with your nimble feet. Digging for your dinner with your long, strong beak. Robin in the rain, you don't mind the weather. Showers always make you gay. But the worms are wishing you would stay at home. Robin on a rainy day"), to the sing-along "Mr Sun" (Oh Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr Golden Sun. Please shine down on Me. Oh Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr Golden Sun, hiding behind a tree. These little children are asking you, to please come out so we can play with you. Oh Mr. Sun..."), to the gentle "The More We Get Together." This is a must-have classic. If our family had to choose just one children's CD to own, it would be this one.
Free Music Review: Excellent children's music, as usual... Hit: 5 Stars
This is one of our family's favorites from the Raffi collection. The songs are timeless classics (some with a great Raffi twist), performed in a way that is fun for children and tolerable for adults (even when heard again and again). Our 3 year old son and our 1 year old daughter love these songs, and even our schoolage home daycare children requested it many times. Our favorites to sing along with are "Down By the Bay" and "Mr. Sun." "Aikendrum," a classic with a twist, is a lot of fun to sing with and make up lyrics to with children. As a former preschool teacher, I loved to sing "Williby Wallaby Woo" and insert names of my students into the song. There are even several holiday/seasonal songs thrown in for variety. This is just a fun collection of classic children's music at its best, as only Raffi can deliver. Wonderful gift for families or teachers of young children!
Free Music Review: Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful Hit: 5 Stars
This album is amazing--still today. I "discovered" Raffi as a 30-something mother, and am thrilled. Some of the songs I knew from childhood, some are new to me, and all are completely delightful. Raffi's voice is warm and steady. The simple accompaniment is quiet at times, celebratory at others, and never obtrusive.
The album is a treasure. We keep it going (in addition to Susie Tallman volumes and Jack Johnson's soundtrack to Curious George) as a daily soundtrack.
My daughter (8 months) starts to dance and hum the minute it begins to play. She has heard it since she was about 6 weeks old. I love dancing with her and singing along as Raffi intunes, "The more we get together..." "Down by the Bay" is probably one of my daughter's favorites, and I love the sharing song.
Free Music Review: Songs for Young and Older Hit: 5 Stars
My grandson Trevor age 2.4, has several songs by this artist. I try to make travelling in the car enjoyable for all of us. We have quite a collection of CD's and I rotate them occasionally. We travel in a group....his babysitter, myself, mommie (when she is not working), so its nice if we all enjoy the CDs. Well this would be high on our list of favorites. Itsy bitsy spider makes
Trevor laugh, so of course we all laugh together. He is picturing this spider, from the floor, crawling up his legs, tummy, arms, etc. Its a silly, lovely song. Now a big favorite is old macDonald had a BAND....which instead of animals we hear musical intruments. Trevor listens intently to this one and usually have to repeat it over several times. Overall it is a CD that I would recommend.
