At nearly 100 songs and two CDs, I can think of no better source for getting a child hooked on folk music, or, at the very least, keeping him or her entertained over the longest of rainy spells. Mike and Peggy Seeger draw on a huge array of songs about games, animals, dances, fantasies, nature, and travels. Presented as sing-a-longs for children 10 and under, these songs include the playful "Jimmy Crack Corn," "Froggie Went a Courtin'," "She'll Be Coming Round the Mountain," "Ducks in the Millpond," and songs of slightly more serious themes such as "I Got a Letter This Morning," "Goodbye, Old Paint," and "Do, Do Pity My Case." --Roy Francis Kasten

Customer Reviews

A wonderful CD
I highly recommend this CD. The scope is by no means limited to children; anyone who enjoys good old fashioned melodies will find a cornucopia here. The songs are fun, the singing fine, the variety of downhome accompaniment makes you feel like you are on the front porch of grandpa's farm. One can also order the book of the same name from which this CD was made; see the informative review of the book at the Amazon page for the book. Mike and Peggy Seeger take a straightforward, uncluttered approach to this music, and for 100 songs the price is right!

INCREDIBLE SINCERELY ENTERTAINMENT - no plastic garbage here
Forget about purple dinosaurs and inept adults dumbing down low quality music to hyponotize children with insincere emotion. This is the real stuff. This album is quality authentic music that children love! My kids wear this album out and better yet I like it. Maybe a little to real for TV culture. Also check out woody guthries - "songs for mother and child to grow on" and "the nursery years".

This music is great!
It is so nice to have children's music that is fun for them and doesn't include any sappy, "disneyized," or otherwise insipid singing! We bought the CD because we wore out the tape and we don't even have a front porch, a rocker, or a 10 gallon hat between us! -- Also, it's neat that the music is historically significant.
