Lullaby: A Collection(more) »rank: 2129by: Various Artists
Our review: :For centuries the world over, mothers (and fathers) have been cradling, cooing, and crooning to babies and small children with song. There's scarcely a one of us that cannot recall a particularly gentle song a special someone sang for a wee self--to calm, soothe, and aid slumber. This tender music is to the soul what mother's milk is to the body, and we call it the lullaby. Rooted in age-old tradition, Lullaby: A Collection presents an even dozen lullabies from around the globe. Particularly beguiling are the African 'Be Still My Child' by Ladysmith Black Mambazo, the traditional Spanish 'A La Nanita Nana' ... Detail |

All You Need Is Love: Beatles Songs for Kids(more) »rank: 3326by: Various Artists
Our review: :What could possibly be cooler than hipping kids to some of the best pop music ever made? Music for Little People makes this project simple by producing a batch of the Beatles' sunniest songs performed by a prime adult band and your children's peers and slightly reworked in kid-friendly keys. The result is largely devoid of over-the-top cutesy-poo histrionics--these kids can really sing and the harmonies are quite commendable. Young listeners will be thrilled to sing along on the bouncy chorus of 'Life Goes On,' to count and do the alphabet on 'All Together Now,' and to distinguish the amusing sounds of a ... Detail |

Choo Choo Boogaloo(more) »rank: 2790by: Buckwheat Zydeco
Our review: essential recording:Take a spicy Cajun tour through Louisiana's bayou country on Choo Choo Boogaloo! The musical scenery includes foot-stompin', two-steppin,' finger poppin' zydeco emblazoned with hot guitar licks, sassy accordion, and a dash of blues thrown in for good measure. Traditional titles, including 'Get on Board,' 'Iko Iko,' 'Little Red Caboose,' and 'Cotton Fields,' have been well adapted to zydeco style, while 'Crawfish Song,' 'Mardi Gras Mambo,' and 'Give Me a Squeeze, Please' are right at home in this celebration of Cajun culture. Children will have a wonderful time moving with the new rhythms and exploring the sounds of various instruments used ... Detail |

Gift Of The Tortoise: A Musical Journey Through Southern Africa(more) »rank: 6227by: Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Our review: :The jewel in the crown in the Music for Little People catalog, Gift of the Tortoise is stunning in its beauty and uncompromising in its delivery of excellence. Expressed from the viewpoint of a very wise tortoise, the lush harmonies of Ladysmith Black Mambazo are supported by renowned guitarist Johnny Clegg and storyteller Gcina Mhlophe, creating a captivating blend of Zulu lore, South African history, and that country's brave optimism in the post-Apartheid era. As the drama unfolds, the listener is drawn into the spell cast by this marvelous group of players as they carry out the chant of ancestral names on 'Two ... Detail |

A Child's Celebration of Rock 'n' Roll(more) »rank: 8649by: Various Artists
Our review: :Dust off your blue suede shoes and polish up the tail fins on the Chevy: this album transports listeners back to the 1950s and early 1960s with all-time classic rock & roll. Children will love the strong rhythms, (sometimes) silly words, and easy-to-follow vocals. Adults will enjoy the cruise down memory lane with megahits like 'Rock Around the Clock,' 'Willie & the Hand Jive,' 'Rockin' Robin,' and 'Name Game.' Retaining all the spunk and sparkle they did when rock was young, these digitally remastered tunes are ready to inspire a whole new generation of little boppers. --Deborah L. Moore Detail |
