"I purchased this CD for use in my classroom. The children absolutely loved it. We would all work, play, and sing to the music. It made for a very happy learning environment. I would often hear them humming the songs at odd times of the day. I am definitely happy that I bought it. It was well worth the money!"
"My 6 month old smiles when the first track comes on. We dance around the living room together, I've even caught my huband (who doesn't dance) trotting around while I'm not looking. I bought a second copy to put in my car for long trips.I see the joy it brings my daughter, and feel the joy it brings to me!!!"
Wonderful! My kids love it! I love it!

"This collection compiled by Mr. Canfield and Mr. Hanson indeed tops the list of children's music. The "Chicken Soup" book/cd collections can not be complete without this special CD in the shelf. I have read almost every Chicken Soup edition available and own many myself. Until today I did not plan to add the children's editions to my collection.Thank you Mr. Canfield and Mr. Hanson for giving the gift of inspiration to so many ."
This album is a wonderful compilation of music for EVERYONE
"This tape was purchased during a down time for all of my family. I opened the tape on my way home and listened. Within minutes I was feeling a little better and enjoying the music. Then I began really listening to the words. It has definitely made me begin thinking positively about my life and the world around me. I has also done likewise for my wife and both of my children. In this day and age of get everthing done and worry about jobs and money, this album helped us take a step back and look at life. It reminded us to look at life's positives and enjoy rather than just looking at the negatives and trying to survive. While it would make an excellent gift for any child, don't let the name fool you. It is an excellent reminder and inspirational tool for everyone."
