You can't argue with the classics...

"You can't argue with the classics... This is a fun set of favorite animal songs and Raffi originals that will get little listeners all excited and singing along. Some of these are songs we've known for a long time from nursery school singalongs and various playlists -- including "Down By The Bay" and "Baby Beluga" -- others were new to our ears, and all were welcome. My kid really liked several of the songs here, especially the ones that tell stories, such as "Five Little Ducks". There are also covers of songs by other artists, such as Raffi's version of Tom Paxton's "Going To The Zoo" and The Beatles' "Octopus' Garden" which, while they may have been better in their original versions, are still pretty fun here.



This is a good, solid set of kid's music which little listeners of many different stripes will respond to with energy and enthusiasm -- a couple of songs here or there might rub you the wrong way (the tropically-themed arrangements on "Anansi," for example) but overall, this is a great set of children's music that hits a home run. Worth checking out! (ReadThatAgain children's reviews)"

"Just what I wanted. Wonderful addition to our Raffi collection. The music is loved by my 2 1/2 year olds (and me), and we sing along with Raffi. He's the best. Ever."
