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 penny whistle, mandolin, and zither. Both Raffi and blues artist Eric Bibb make guest appearances, but the shining star at this party is child singer Bernie Steinberg, who takes lead on three tunes, including the touchingly performed "Mother Nature's Son" and the amazingly soulful "Birthday." --Paige La Grone

Customer Reviews

Beatles Songs for 'KIDS'
Operative word, KIDS. I am a huge Beatles fan, but I bought this CD for my kids. It is not fair to compare it to the original Beatles releases. The singers are all children. It isn't something I would sit and listen to myself but it beats the 233rd version of 'The Farmer in the Dell" and "On Top of Old Smokey".... My kids adore it! My daughter sings "Yellow Submarine" in the bathtub; she knows all the words! If you have kids, I very highly recommend it!

K - I - D - S ! I read the other customer reviews for this album, and frankly found many of them useless - this album is for KIDS, not Beatles fans. My kids love it - it's not that easy to find music actually sung by children, and my kids think it's terrific to hear little voices, voices like their own, singing. I am personally a Beatles fan, but that's not really germane to this album (though it did help me to teach the kids the lyrics). And to the person who in their review wrote "completely unknown" about Raffi... they have not been listening to much children's music!

Two thumbkins up!
While my kids love repetition, I myself was getting tired of "I'm a Little Teapot" and "Monkeys on the Bed", so when I stumbled on this CD I thought, "Great!" At first, I thought it was going to be original Beatle songs, with the Beatles actually singing, but it's not and actually I'm GLAD about that. My daughters (ages 3 and 1) don't know the Beatles, but they DO love to hear other children sing, offkey or not.

I only wish that the Beatles had written "Puff the Magic Dragon." It surely would have been included in this wonderful compilation.
