Customer Reviews

Great CD
This CD is great for kids. I used to listen to this CD when I was a kid, and I loved it. I still love it. The only thing was that a always got scared when something jumped out, like in "the ghost of bleak house". I still love this CD, and i put it onto my MP3 player.

Above are my son's comments. I am much older and I still absolutely love these songs, along with the other all time great CDs of Tom Chapin - Family Tree, and Moonboat. I would also give 4.99 stars to Zagzig, Great Big Fun, In My Home Town. Children of all ages will treasure these long after they have children of their own.

My Son Begs for "Billy the Squid" Constantly!
My 3-year-old son and I have an hour-long commute after work, so good music is a must. The songs on this CD are wonderful, starting with the very first ("Big Words") which makes us want to dance right in the car, if we could. The songs alternate between catchy toe-tappers to softer, more melodic tunes, to some that tell a story ("The Missing Parade" and "Ghost of Bleak House"). There are two songs we don't care for ("You'll be Sorry" and "Sore Loser"), but the excellence of all the others makes this definitely worth the money.

Great kids songs
As a kid, I loved this album and some of the first I ever sang in front of people were "Bye Bye Dodo" and "The Ghost of Bleak House." Brings some of us back to our days as young children.
