1. This was bought for my daughter for her 1st birthday. We played it so much I found myself singing the songs to myself. What I really liked is that there are 3 Cds so I didn't have to play just one over and over. If it became too much for me I could switch the CD. My daughter is almost 3 now and asks for me to put this CD on. We liked it so much I bought it for friends son.



2. I really enjoy the CDs in the box set. They sound young as 3 years old. Alot better sounding, too.



3. I bought this for my little girl for her second birthday based on the review above, and I am sorry that I did.

   She had a couple of music CDs that were awful, and I thought if I got her this 5 star disc, that she would at least get the tunes right.

   To my horror, this three disc set has the same anonymous performers that our other single disc did. Over half of the songs change the tune and/or rhythm dramatically. I cannot use musical notation here, but for example, in "Hickory Dickory Dock", they sing "Dock" as the high note!!!

   This is not a matter of children not being able to hit the notes, either. The kids can sing well enough (although they have little annoying sound bites between some numbers that are supposed to be cute, but are merely annoying). The keyboardist is the one doing violence to the tunes, apparently thinking he can improve on standards.

   Is it too much to ask that the original tunes on classic children's songs be respected, so that they learn it the way all preceding generations did?

   I guess I have learned my lesson, no more anonymous compilations, they are not worth it.




4. This album collection of children's songs is great for the whole family. This album was given to my son as a newborn. I would play it for him everyday, I ended up learning all the songs.
   this I will be the second time he has this cd, the first one I took all over the place that it endup lost. And I had to get another one. The great thing about it is that all the songs are sung by children.

1. I was 67 years old , when I began listening to these wonderful Disney songs. And when the last song ended, it seemed that I lost 50 years. I believe that this wonderful music brings back old wonderful memories that is like true magic. Alas my hair has now turned black , and all my wrinkles are now gone away. Also just chased my wife around Southern California. She told me to stop listening because she said she can't keep with me anymore. I owe it all to these 5 magical albums.



2. There really isn't anything else that can be said for this awful box set full of meaningless audio suicide. Disney music is the worst thing that music has ever experienced. kidz bop may be something that comically states the downfall of music even worse. soulja boy is there for me when I feel crappy, because I realise that people just suck worse at life than I do. I take sadist laughs at people who listen to Nickelback. All of those others are so crappy you can't just help and laugh at them.
   
   But not for Disney. There's nothing funny about this. It's grave. Grave my friend. It's not like disney ever had the potential to be nothing more than a horrible company the day that idiot walt disney founded his _______ dream, but the biggest failure was even trying to touch music. Maybe if he would have realized that his taste in picking composers is lame. How does disney keep messing up music anyway?
   
   Anyway, disney music fails for a lot of reasons. Let's debunk it with the music first. The generic orchestra, irritating, timid music, it's so twee it makes me barf. It's very boring, actually. It's mearly short comed as it's just there because it has to be. Yeah, lot's of the music I listen to has the same kind of thing. But the reason why it's good is because of the vocals, the lyrics.
   
   Ah, the lyrics. Awful. Nonsensical, twee, twee, and twee. This stuff is so damn forced and twee that it makes anybody cringe. It makes sense, because it's supposed to. There's no confrontation, there's no realism. A whole new World, sorry, but love ain't just that. It's a beautiful, complex thing, not a twee thing. I hate the way, and it just gets on my nerves.
   
   Of course,this is disney, and it's millions of browbeaten followers will defend such garbage that anybody that's not spoiled sees right through. Oh well. You poons.

3. This collection of Disney music is perfect for any Disney fan. My family loves Disney, and this couldn't have been better to get for our drives to our favorite home away from home. Our daughter listens to it in her room all of the time. If you love Disney, you will love this collection.



4. I bought this for my daughter and I to sing along with in the car. It has all of our favorites and then some. If you can find a copy of the set you won't be disappointed! I'm here now looking for a replacement since mine have long since been scratched to death after many many hours of heavy rotation.



5. This collection has almost every song from every Disney distributed moved up to 1995. Each cd contains around 25 songs. I purchased this collection as a gift for a niece of mine and she loves it (I must admit I got a big kick out of it too). If you're concerned about young children watching too much tv/dvds yet want them to enjoy music this is a definitely a product worth looking at.

5 comments about Ultimate Kids Song Collection: 101 Favorite Sing-A-Longs.

1. I read all the great reviews for this CD and bought it. I HATE it! I can not stand to listen to the children on the CD singing off tune. The quality of the singing is so poor. The CD does have many familiar songs (I didn't listen to all 4 disks, I gave up after 3) but I just can't bear this one. My toddler didn't seem so fond of this collection either. I laid all of his CD's out for him, and he has not once chosen to listen to this one after I initially played it for him. He does have many other favorites though. This one really is torture if you care for good music at all.



2. Our 23 month old daughter LOVES this set! As soon as she gets into the car seat, she says, "Play my music?!" She bobs her head happily and claps along joyfully. She really enjoys the animal sound effects and the children's voices. She has the first cd memorized already and enjoys singing along to the different songs.
   
   Some parents may find some of the songs annoying, as some of the arrangements may not be as they remember. I tend to skip over some of the "original" songs (playing w/matches, strangers), just because I think they sound too fun for such serious issues.
   
   Overall, this is a good purchase for your child. It brings out the kid in all of us!



3. Since I became a new mom, I had bought several CDs of children's songs for my baby. However, most of them are [weak]. So I didn't expect too much from this set of CDs. What a nice surprise, the Ultimate Kids Song Collection is by far my favorite as well as my 1 year old's. Baby loves it and starts bouncing whenever I play the CDs. The set contains 3 CDs with 101 songs (over 3 hours of music). This is quiet a bargain at around [$$] considering the great quality of recording. The performance by the Wonder Kids choir is superb. Also, the songs were recorded in split tracks so you can have karaoke style fun.



4. The music on Disc 3 is snappy, upbeat and a pleasure for adults and children. I am a rock-n-roll fan but this is a cool disc. My wife and I will certainly locate and buy the remaining discs in this set.



5. Please do not get me wrong. I received this collection as a gift and it is quite comprehensive. However, as an elementary school teacher and mom I have had plenty of experience with the genre. I am a firm believer that children deserve the same (or better) quality as adults do (in music and all other things).

   That said, this recording is very inferior. The recordings are of a quality that makes them unpleasant (almost downright irritating) to listen too. The nice melody, rhythm and careful arranging that goes into other recordings is missing here. The end result is considerably less enjoyable, than say a Raffi or even a Barney CD, and there is a whole lot more of it to endure.

1 comments about Winnie the Pooh: House at Pooh Corner - Now We Are Six.

1. --------------After a twenty year self -exile from England, living in a California patch, I stumbled across an Eeyore, who being as miserable as me, asked me to hold his tail while he took me into the land of Pooh. Raised in England during World War 2, I was too pre-occupied with other things to have learnt about Pooh...much to my chagrin.

   However from the moment Peter opened his mouth, the memories of England came flooding back, and I too realized that Pooh resembled me in many embarrasing ways. Not only did I reconize myself in Pooh, others many many others world wide have too.. ..if we could all be as innocent....

   Entering my second childhood in Southern California was indeed a blessing....and we are double blessed that Disney could not BUY Mr.Dennis..... thank you Peter.
