Susie Tallman - Children's Songs, A Collection of Childhood Favorites CD

Children's Songs, A Collection of Childhood Favorites songs Winner of multiple awards including Parents' Choice and the Platinum and GOLD winner of the prestigious Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Award. CBS Joan of Arcadia just chose "Itsy Bitsy Spider" from THIS CD for the episode about Joan taking piano lessons! Classic Nursery Rhymes. 2-6 year olds will sing, clap, and dance along to the 37 tracks on this album. Singable, upbeat, rhythmic, harmonious, sometimes silly, always beautiful, Susie Tallman and friends show us all that we love about nursery rhymes. REVIEW from a Parent:When we pop this CD in our car cd player, our 19-month old son smiles and giggles immediately. We play it everyday (for months now). I wasn't wild about this one at first because it wasn't traditional, as I was expecting. BUT, it has grown on all of us. Because of this CD my son very actively participates in the rhymes: he tries to sing along, imitating the range and tones of the voices ("TIP me over and POUR..ME..OUT!). When "Ten Monkeys" plays, he uses hand movement to imitate the monkeys rolling over in bed. As another reviwer pointed out, this CD does a great job of introducing children to different styles of music. And now even I love the hip-hop version of Hickory Dickory Dock. Compare it to a Disney CD and you will realize how creative and talented Susie and her friends are; you don't get the same boring, bland band of singers in each song. Testimony is in the purchase...I just bought a different CD collection at Costco which, despite the price savings, I am going to return because I am going to buy Susie's "Kids'Songs to Sing and Sing Along". We are driving across country next month ...
