If you want to scare the pants off your 2-, 3-, and 4-year-olds, but then make them merrily sing along, this Halloween collection could be for you. A generous 18 tracks deep, Spooky Favorites covers the familiar creepy-crawly terrain of "Cockles and Mussels," "Spider on the Floor," and "There Was an Old Woman" with all the right affects. Favorites also trades in Christmas tunes, reworking "The 12 Days of Christmas" as "12 Days of Halloween," while "Green Gremlins" reprises the "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" theme in a halting tempo with a tasty rock guitar solo. And in another ironic twist, the players turn "Bring Back My Bonney" into "Bring Back My Neighbors to Me" and rewrite "If You're Happy and You Know It" as "You're Scary and You Know It." Highly theatrical and leaning on a good interplay of English folk melodies and music-hall styles, Spooky Favorites is proof that you can spoof just about any song for Halloween as long as you dress them up real spookylike. --Martin Keller

Customer Reviews

Lots of fun
I bought this CD for my Pre-K class and we have had so much fun listening and dancing to it. They especially enjoy If You're Spooky and You Know It.

Very Disappointed
The reviews for this CD were misleading as the CD is not appropriate for 3 year old children. There are only one or two songs near the end of the CD that would not be scary for this age group. Most of the songs had howling and haunted house-like sounds that would be scary the average pre-schooler. None of the songs on the CD had the whimsical feel that would be fun and enjoyable for this age group. I would recommend saving your money and purchasing a Pooh Halloween CD.

Great Kids Halloween CD
My 4 year old son LOVES this CD! He wants to listen to it all the time, even now 3 months after Halloween! The Mean Old Witch is one of his favorite tracks. I have to admit too, that even I enjoy listening to this CD with my son--we sing along and sometimes act out the songs (especially the mean old witch). If your looking for somethign fun to share with your children, try this CD.
