5 comments about Walt Disney Records : Children's Favorite Songs, Vol. 3 : 23 Classic Tunes.

1. I had the cassette when I was a little girl... my mom said I used to go to sleep to it every night. The cassette lasted for my younger sister. 20 some odd years later I still have it, although I don't have a cassette player so since I'm expecting a little girl of my own I just had to buy this one and the rest of the series... OMG listening to the samples brings back sooooo many happy memories and I still remember all of them enough to sing along - I'm giddy! I loved these songs soooo much and I know my baby will too.



2. This was a gift, but I understand that both the kids and adults are enjoying singing along. They said that the song selection is fun and nostalgic. Everything is familiar and easy to follow along.



3. These selections are excellent kids' songs. I bought all 4 for my daughter and she loves them. I personally think the 3rd one is the best among the 4. The voice of the singer is very pleasnant and soothing. I would highly recommend to anybody.



4. I listened to those songs on a tape when I was in elementary school. I got the tape for Christmas, but I don't remember what happened to it.



5. I was so happy to find that I could buy these cd's (volumes 1-4). I had volumes 1-3 growing up and LOVED them. Every toddler cd that I bought for my own child just wasn't the same... I was always disappointed, until I found these! I am just thrilled to be able to enjoy these songs again, with my own daughter. These songs are so much fun and are easy to catch on to and sing along with.

1. ad that is what it is supposed to be. And it is done in a original way. My kids (2 resp 3) love it. They think it is funny, scary and Halloweenish. Exactly what it is supposed to be. If you are scary and you know it is an absolute favorite and they know the original by heart, and to hear this song with scary creatures just cracks them up. Yes, do not let you children listen to this alone, sing with them and explain the songs, and enjoy and laugh!!



2. My 4 year old son LOVES this CD! He wants to listen to it all the time, even now 3 months after Halloween! The Mean Old Witch is one of his favorite tracks. I have to admit too, that even I enjoy listening to this CD with my son--we sing along and sometimes act out the songs (especially the mean old witch). If your looking for somethign fun to share with your children, try this CD.



3. I have to add my 2 cents for the scariness of this cd. My 6 year old picked this out and we listened to it in the car on a long road trip. When the cd started my almost 4 year old covered her ears and started whimpering that it scared her. I told her "they were just being silly" so that my 6 year old could still listen to her cd. The 4 year old kept her ears covered for 4 songs all while I was trying to help her see how they were acting scary to be silly. After she had listened to the whole cd once she was not longer scared of it - and in fact now has most of the shorter songs memorized and constantly walks around the house singing "I'm a mean old witch with my hat... Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha". I'm glad I persevered and helped her overcome her fear so we now as a family have a blast singing Halloween songs together throughout the day. Now if you want to avoid any of this whimpering then definitely keep this cd for at least 5 year olds. My 6 year old wasn't scared of the cd at all and she loved how several of the songs have big "Boo"s at the end and other lightly suspensful moments.



4. I bought this CD for my son who was 4 at the time and he loves it! We listened to it all year long. Even as a parent I enjoy this CD and find myself sometimes listening to it when I'm in the car alone. My child didn't think it was too scary.



5. This cd is too *#@%# scary for me and I'm 38 years old!! If you are really into scaring kids, this will do the trick.

5 comments about Disney Silly Songs: 20 Simply Super Singable Silly Songs.

1. Some of these songs i think are very old and not for today's market. Not catchy. Sorry disney its a bust from me.



2. Lots of silly songs, many are the kind kids used to sing at camp way back when. Good fun for the family. Great for playing in the car on trips.



3. I remember listening to those songs on a tape when I was in elementary school. I loved it. I played the tape on our tape player in our living room when I was in middle school and my mom says those were stupid. My dad told me that time it was for little kids.



4. My sister and I had this record growing up and we would listen to it on road trips with our parents all the time. I remember most of the words and I love being able to share these timeless songs with my 16-month-old son. He's already singing along even though he can't say the words yet! I definitely recommend this CD for all children!



5. My brother and I used to listen to this all the time when we were kids. Every once in a while we will still sing the songs together, we are 24 and 25 years old. I am so psyched to find the cd, Im getting one for my brother for christmas. He is going to get the biggest kick out of it! This is a must have for all kids. One of the greatest CDs ever!

5 comments about Disney's Princess Collection: The Music of Hopes, Dreams and Happy Endings.

1. Bought as a gift for my 4-year old niece for her birthday, this CD stays in my car for her use when I'm driving. She loves it and asks for individual princesses and we sing along. I don't know how many times we've listened to it already (4 or 5, I imagine), but I anticipate many more. It's a heck of a lot easier than trying to remember the words on my own. :)



2. I want to start off by saying that if you're looking to buy only one Disney Princess CD, this is the one to get. This CD contains 12 tracks featuring 7 princesses (at the time that this CD was made, Mulan did not yet exist, in fact, the Disney Princess line itself did not exist). Unlike many other Disney Princess CDs, this one contains a *complete* collection of princess songs. That means that all the songs that any Princess actually sings is on this CD. No, not every song from every Princess movie is on here, but I wouldn't expect them to be, nor do I think that they'd even fit onto this CD. Something that's nice about this CD compared to some of the other Disney Princess CDs is that there is no subversive advertising. That means no mediocre songs from Cinderella V or the Little Mermaid X are on it. There aren't even any songs sung by non-Princesses, all the songs that are sung partly by others are at least partially sung by a Princess as well. One of the most interesting things about the album, in my opinion, is that it contains 'Home' by Susan Egan as Belle. In Beauty and the Beast, Belle has no large solo songs of her own, so they included this track from the original 1994 cast recording of the Beauty and the Beast Broadway musical. This addition makes the CD more interesting and does not at all detract from the quality of the CD.
   Again, if you are looking to buy only one Disney Princess CD or just find the best one, I would encourage you to buy this one. The selection of songs is complete and there isn't any annoying, mediocre album filler. I highly recommend this Disney Princess CD.



3. Bought this CD for Christmas for my 5 year old and we love it!! A great buy!!!!!



4. i love this cd! my dad got it for me for my birthday 3 years ago and i still love it



5. I bought this cd for my daughter's 3rd birthday. She LOVES it! She asks me to play it every day and we both sing along to all of the songs. She has even picked up on the songs that she didn't know before she received it. I love it because now she is more interested in listening to the cd and dancing with me in the house than watching a video. In quiet times, she likes to sit on my lap and look at the pictures in the liner notes. The recordings are beautiful, it is the one children's cd that I can listen to over and over. If you have a little girl who loves princesses, this is definitely worth the money.

5 comments about Walt Disney Records : Children's Favorite Songs, Vol. 4.

1. I have 6 of these kiddie CD's in the car and my 19 month old son "sings" along and dances in his seat. He loves them!



2. 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.



3. 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.



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



5. 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.

5 comments about Preschool Songs.

1. This is a very good CD for Kids. I have all "Cedarmont Kids" CDs and DVDs and its a really good production with nice music, lyrics and songs. These are our family favorite and will be yours soon if you get it. Highly recommended.



2. Beware! The packaging and reviews do not indicate that there are numerous Christian content songs on this CD. "Jesus" songs are not synonymous with children's music and should not be packaged and marketed as such.



3. I bought this for my baby granddaughter to listen to. I sing along and she laughs. The songs are mostly all old familiar children's songs that I used to sing to my own children. The words are sung by children in a very charming way. About every 5th song there is a sweet Christian song, but most are traditional nursery songs. Highly recommended.



4. My 2-yr old Grand Daughter, who I bought this for, loves it! My Grand Son, who is 10, really enjoys singing and acting the songs out with her in the car. I am very happy with this CD.
   Thank-you.



5. If you are a teacher of the young or a mom, this CD is a must for you. Great selections.

5 comments about Baby Einstein: Traveling Melodies.

1. We love playing this while in the car with my grandson. He is one year old and tries to sing to it and has so much fun.



2. My baby, the dad and I love this cd! It makes car rides FUN! She relaxes and sleeps too!!!
   Whoever buys it won't regret!
   Baby Einstein must know what they're doing cause it is really amazing.



3. This tape is short and the melodies are not engaging for kids. It was waste of money.



4. Hello everyone,
   This CD is great!
   My son has ADD & when we are out & he gets Anxious I put this CD in his portibale CD player.
   It seems to help him calm down & better cope with things.
   I think that every parent should have this CD that has a special needs child.
   Thanks so much for putting it online for people to buy.
   Thanks Again,
   A Greatfull Mom



5. My husband and I are musicians so I inwardly groaned when we were given this CD as a gift--I'd rather play the originals rather than some synthesized kiddie version. However, on a recent road trip we got desperate when our colicky son would not stop screaming. We popped this in the CD player and it calmed him down immediately. I swear, it's like aural crack for babies. We now play it at bedtime to help calm him down and it still works. You may not love this CD, but your baby will.

5 comments about Sunday School Songs.

1. This is a great CD for Kids who are starting out at Sunday Schools. The tunes are great and can be easily followed.
   My daughter was very pleased with this CD...



2. This was a great purchase for my 7yr old grandson. He listens to it every night at bedtime. Loved it



3. This is a Great CD with great songs. We also have the similar version in DVD and the songs and video are great. My son loves these songs, so do we. Highly recommended.



4. My eleven yr old first heard the songs on this CD about 5 years ago. He still really enjoys listening to them now. The CD was a replacement purchase for the old tapes we wore out.



5. I just bought this CD for myself and I love it! It would be great for students in a private school, or for Christmas, or sitting by a campfire at summer camp. These religious tunes are probably the most beautiful I have ever heard. My favorites are "He's got the Whole World" and "Michael Row the Boat." Up till today, I never even knew that the "he" of the first song mentioned in this review refers to the one-and-only God. Basically, this is an ideal CD to have in every child's house and every grade school since it teaches children to appreciate God more than anything else in the universe. Just ignore the fact that track 29 is substantially different from track 14. I must say these wonderful songs are waaaaaaaay better than some of the dull kids TV shows that came out recently. Oh, and if some of you animé fans out there like shows like "Water-spider Wonder-spider," you'll like this, too! Get it and you'll see what I mean.

5 comments about The Mozart Effect - Music for Babies - Playtime to Sleepytime.

1. Purchased as a gift, but glad to receive it. Haven't listened to it myself, but I like Mozart.



2. My baby boy just like it..... and my wife is enjoying it toooo.... It is a very soothing CD to listen to. It is definitely worth the $$...



3. I bought the "Mozart Effect" CD and a few other classical CD's; Bach and another Mozart after my daughter was born in late 1998. We had a difficult time getting her to sleep at night and decided to try playing music to soothe her. The "Mozart Effect" CD worked every time. As soon as she heard the Toy Symphony play she would relax and just listen to the music until she fell asleep. It's been more than a year since we played the CD, and recently when she was ill, she asked to listen to "her music". It still has the same calming effect. Regardless of the controversy surrounding Mozart's ability to make babies more intelligent, I think this music is very comforting and enjoyable.



4. I received several classical music CD's as gifts before my daughter was born, and out of all of them (also including classical CD's I had already owned) this is definitely my favorite. It stands out because it is not full of simply "traditional" arrangements but rather is very light and playful - there are all sorts of cute little chirping and whirring noises that add to it as well. It is just a lot of fun, and provides the perfect background for cuddling with your new little one.

   There is one comment below from someone who thought the music was too simple and was of poor quality. I would agree that the music is very simple (not a bad thing), but disagree with the notion that it is poor quality. Anyway, this should be just one CD in a library of different types of music, classical and other, to help your child's music appreciation develop. If it happens to expand other developmental skills as well, even better!




5. The Mozart Effect - Music for Babies is a pretty good disc. Admittedly not the best Mozart recordings around, but then my child is not exactly picky. I prefer Genie's Angels All Around as a lullaby CD but either The Mozart Effect or Angels All Around would make excellent baby shower gifts.

5 comments about Bob And Larry's Toddler Songs.

1. Your toddler will LOVE this CD! We had a different Veggie Tales CD, so we thought we'd try this one, and our daughter absolutely loves it. She wants to hear it in the car, at home, wherever.



2. My daughter was ten months old when we first played this CD for her in the car, and after a month, it's already a favorite. The songs are upbeat and fun for her, and my husband and I grin through the Veggie banter. Great for traveling, or just around the house during playtime. Yeah, I feel kind of silly that I subconsciously sing all the words while I drive, but welcome to parenthood, right?



3. i purchased this cd along with 3 others for the car when my daughter was 7 months old. she hated being in the car, and it was so stressful for me since there was nothing i could do from the driver's seat (especially since she was rear-facing at the time). none of the other cds comforted her much, but this one has been a true lifesaver. no matter how fussy she is, the minute i turn on track 1 of this cd, she stops whining and starts listening to bob and larry! it really is amazing, and i can't say enough good things about this cd. bob and larry talk quite a bit in between the songs, but the dialogue is cute and funny, even for adults (my husband likes it too). i also like how this cd introduces my daughter to some classic christian songs, such as "this is the day" and "this little light of mine." my daughter is 14 months old now and still *loves* this cd, and it has made car rides much more peaceful for both of us!



4. My son just turned 2 and loves this cd..esp Wheels on the Bus! He knows all the words by heart! Great buy!



5. Our 16 month old is already enjoying this CD. We got it for her for Christmas and she has had a blast listening to the songs. Although she can't sing along yet, she dances to the songs and I know she will soon be singing the words. Also, there are great little moments that adults will appreciate in this CD. It's great for being in the car and always seems to keep her occupied. We love the Christian songs on this CD - they are the type of songs I want my daughter to learn. Highly recommended!
