![]() | Under a Shady Tree by Laurie Berkner
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $10.74 This was my first "good" children's music album. This one is "my" favorite out of all of her albums, but it is also hugely popular with my son.
I was going to list all of the songs on the album I particularly like, but I guess I can only say that there are two on the album that I don't like and I like or LOVE the rest.

![]() | Buzz Buzz by Laurie Berkner
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $7.50 This one is my sons favorite. He is always asking for Buzz Buzz. I reviewed the song list and I don't like the songs as much as he does. It's still a great album, worth buying, etc. We love Laurie Berkner to death. To rank this one below the others is still putting it head and shoulder above 98% of all children's music.

![]() | Victor Vito by Laurie Berkner
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $9.21 I love this song "Victor Vito". You can also buy the book with the CD single and it makes an awesome gift if you include a pair of maracas!!
This album is so fun! It is in constant rotation in our car.
|
![]() | Victor Vito and Freddie Vasco: Two Polar Bears On A Mission To Save The Klondike Cafe! by Laurie Berkner
Buy used from: $12.96 Buy the book with the CD single and give it as a gift!!
|
![]() | Hohner Kids Single Maracito (Assorted Colors)
Buy new: $1.85 To go with your Victor Vito book.
Now back to my list!
|
![]() | Baby Beluga by Raffi
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $8.31 I love this song! He is much more "toddlerish" than Laurie Berkner. We started off with Raffi and he's definitely a good addition to the rotation.
|
![]() | The Singable Songs Collection by Raffi
Buy new: $22.99 / Used from: $20.16 This is my favorite Raffi album. I just wish it had Baby Beluga. Shake My Sillies Out is a big favorite with pre-schoolers and definitely fun to watch/join in. That song has a book too!
|
![]() | Shake My Sillies Out (Raffi Songs to Read) by Raffi
Buy new: $5.99 / Used from: $0.01 Great read-aloud/sing aloud homerun!
|
![]() | House Party by Dan Zanes
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $4.77 After we wore out Laurie Berkner and I despaired of finding fun, clever, tolerable children's music, I found Dan. We are just getting into him. He's great!
|
![]() | Classic Disney: 60 Years of Musical Magic [Box Set] [Import] by Disney
This has everything and you will be surprised at how many memories it will bring back for you. As well as the enjoyment you receive listening to your child discover "Zip a dee doh dah" or "You Can Fly"
Any disney collection of this type is worth having.
|
![]() | Songs from the Street: 35 Years of Music
Buy used from: $14.69 Another basic beginner album. We were playing this for our child before his language really exploded and now it's part of our big playlists. Great collection.
|
![]() | A Child's Celebration of Showtunes by Various Artists
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $1.08 I don't know what is more challenging, trying to remember family appropriate adult songs for kids or trying to find tolerable children's music.
This album gave me so many ideas for more music to introduce at home.
Great addition.
|
![]() | Oliver! (Deluxe Edition) (1963 Original Broadway Cast) [CAST RECORDING] by Various Artists
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $8.97 If you can stand Broadway, Ooom Pah Pah and Be back soon! and many others on this album are catchy and appropriate. I was familar with the musical so maybe that helps me enjoy the album more. I want to find more musical theatre I can introduce at home.
|
![]() | Meltdown! by Justin Roberts
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $7.99 Another excellent musician I found on par with Laurie Berkner. This is the only album of his I have so far.
|
![]() | At the Bottom of the Sea by Ralph's World
Buy used from: $0.82 Clever lyrics and good music!
|
![]() | Thriller by Michael Jackson
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $4.93 I don't know any kid in the world that doesn't love this album immediately. Especially "Beat It".
Fun pop music!
|
![]() | Really Rosie (1975 Television Special)
Buy used from: $25.00 Just for "Chicken Soup with Rice" and "Alligators All Around" this album is in my collection. I also recommend buying the books of the same title.
|
![]() | Chicken Soup with Rice: A Book of Months by Maurice Sendak
Buy new: $5.95 / Used from: $1.71 Short. Easy to learn months of the year. Even better to sing aloud than read aloud.
|
![]() | Prokofiev: Peter & the Wolf
Buy new: $6.98 / Used from: $4.30 Boris Karloff reading Peter and the Wolf! Irresistable!
|
![]() | Carnival of the Animals by John Lithgow
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $3.00 Another wonderful introduction to classical music for little ones.
|
![]() | The Sting: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Marvin Hamlisch
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $3.23 Ragtime music is bouncy. This album has "The Entertainer" and "Merry Go Round Music" to name two favorites at our house. I love the whole album.
|
![]() | Bernstein Century - Copland: Appalachian Spring, Rodeo, etc / Bernstein, New York PO
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $5.48 Rodeo and Fanfare should be introduced to every child by name. And Applachian Spring. Aaron Coplan will be the backdrop to your child's life, do him the favor of identifying him!
|
![]() | America
Buy used from: $2.00 So many songs that we all learn to love as children. Enjoy and try out other "pops" for the family.

Listmania!
