Wonderful messages & melodies!
All kids should have this CD that makes learning to love the environment fun!

A special note for CYNDI LAUPER or THE HOOTERS fans: They sing the eponymous track with as much zydeco style and substance as they can muster!

For more of Cyndi's work in the Zydeco genre, check out 2004's romping compilation "Creole Bred."

Music Good Audio Not
Children will I am sure like the simplified rhythms and cute arrangements, especially the Cambridge Buskers playing Nachtmusik on a penny whistle. However, the producers apparently dubbed the CD from poor quality recordings (phonograph records?)with pops and clicks, without editing out the feeps and farps. So the audio quality is less than you'd get from a ... remainder rack.

My children enjoy it...
I am a music teach for young children and I don't believe simply listening to music will make children smarter. However, this is wonderful music that relaxes my children and seems to help them concentrate. If they can concentrate better, they probably will learn better in the end. ... Read more

It's a bug's life on Insects and Spiders. Great for introducing your 4- to 9-year-olds to the creepy crawly things in the world, Insects looks at how cool the land of entomology really is. With titles like "Ants in My Pants," "Pass the Honey, Please," and "Fireflies, Won't You Come Out Tonight?" (sung to the tune of "Buffalo Gals, Won't You Come Out Tonight?"), Insects does a good job of explaining "What Is an Insect?" and notes the differences between "Millipedes and Centipedes." A clever song about butterflies ("What a Change") and one about mosquitoes ("What Kind of Mouth Do You Have?") do the insect world proud. And there's even one tune about the spider, to help nip any arachnophobia in the bud. --Martin Keller ... Read more

Ugh---Hard to Listen To
I bought this for my third grader because he is struggling to memorize his multiplication tables.Of all the CDs at the teacher supply store, this is the one the staff there recommended.I cannot imagine why!This CD is pretty awful.I know it's partially my own musical taste, but the music & vocals are mediocre and repetitive. My biggest complaint---the songs for the actual multiplication tables are the same tune and lyrics over and over and over and over....you get the picture.I don't see how this could help anyone memorize their multiplication tables, because it gives nothing to associate the different numbers with.It all sounds the same.My kids didn't seem to mind the music, but I saw no educational advantage to it, and I can't stand to hear it.The songs that do not contain the actual multiplication tables are pointless and teach nothing.

I'm going to check out some of the other multiplication CDs, specifically the hip-hop ones---maybe they will actually have more than one tune on them.

Avoid this at all costs! ... Read more

Album Description

Did you know that the cuddly-looking koala is not a bear? In fact, koalas are not even related to bears! Kids learn all about what makes a reptile a reptile and how to tell the difference between a crocodile and an alligator. Through 12 catchy, informative songs, kids learn how a tadpole changes into a frog, why snakes stick out their tongues and that lions are cats that cannot purr! Critiqued by Dr. Peter Niewiarowski, a zoologist, this CD will provide hours of fun and factual entertainment! (Lyrics included.) ... Read more

Buy this at your own risk!
This is one of the worst recordings I have ever heard. The lyrics sound as if they are straight out of the encyclopedia, without a shred of artfulness. The musical settings of the lyrics are awkward and there is very little here to hold my attention. I want my money back! ... Read more

If you're bent on introducing your kids (or someone else's) to the world of theater, this collection will come in handy. Most of these tracks from productions such as The King and I, My Fair Lady, Bye Bye Birdie, and Oklahoma are fine, classic theater songs that young kids with open minds may take to like water. Mary Martin's yodeling on "The Lonely Goatherd" (from The Sound of Music) is captivating and her version of "Do-Re-Mi" (also from The Sound of Music) is simply charming. "Put on a Happy Face" (Dick van Dyke, from Bye Bye Birdie) will appeal to the budding actor in your house, and "I Could Have Danced All Night" (from My Fair Lady) will have the little romantic in your brood swooning. There is plenty of melodrama with "Hard Knock Life" and "Tomorrow," both from Annie and "Sunrise, Sunset" from Fiddler on the Roof. There's even a little dose of fairy-tale magic with "Impossible! It's Possible!" from Cinderella. --Lorry Fleming ... Read more

A great way to expand your children's musical taste
This is my 4 year old daughter's favorite CD!Its great to hear her singing songs from musicals instead of simple nursery rhymes.It awakened a sense of interest in viewing musicals both on stage and on video that I think has been very beneficial to her.Not only that, but it is actuallyan enjoyable CD to listen to for her, her 1 year old brother, her parentsand even her grandparents!

Super for teaching hymns to the littlest tykes!
I have used the Ceadermont Kids tapes for about two years and have replaced them at least twice because they were worn out. My kids have learned many hymns and fun songs about church and God. We all love to hear the kids singing and the silly sound in the background. These are a must for any christian family with young children. I have given at least 10 sets away as gifts, and will keep looking for new ones! Superbly done appeals to both children and adults. ... Read more

2 years and still running
I have this playing on auto-repeat going on 2 1/2 years !! I only switch it out with the others in this group! I love these CD's. Especially with the wordless tracks- My daughter sings them to me now!!

Lovely songs
I wanted a CD of lullabies to play for my baby while falling asleep and a friend gave this to me. It is wonderful. The songs could be considered a bit sappy, but I didn't become a mother because I was jaded. The music is really soothing. My 5-month old falls asleep to it every night.

Someday Baby is a great label.
The previous reviews are actually a bit jumbled -- the same reviews are showing up on each of the CDs made by Someday Baby. Most of their CDs are pretty great, but I would rank them as follows: 1) "Little Sleepy Eyes", 2) "A Child's Gift of Lullabies", 3) "Rock-A-Bye Collection Volume One. I play one of those three almost every night. They're wonderful. The songs are original, catchy, and soothing. You'll find yourself singing them throughout the day.

I also purchased "Love Songs and Lullabies for Daddy's Little Dreamer" by Someday Baby. Unfortunately, it was terrible.

If you're looking for something more traditional, Joanie Bartels does a nice job of singing well known songs in "Lullaby Magic". Ignore the goofy CD cover -- she really has a nice voice, and performs the songs well.

This is a wonderful lullaby tape!
I've been collecting lullaby tapes for my grandchildren and this is one of the best! This CD is easily a five star!

Highly recommended!!
The songs are very calming. The female singer is very good and easy to listen to. Before you know it, you will be singing and humming along. My daughter listened to this every night since she was born. Now my newborn son is listening to it. This would be a great gift! ... Read more

Not What We Were Expecting!!!
Our local children's museum is hosting a Magic Schoolbus exhibit just in time for our daughter's birthday. We wanted to play the theme song for background music so we purchased this cd. It's NOT Little Richard singing and not the version our child LOVES. All of the songs are done by the same person. I will give them credit for annunciating and making the lyrics clear unlike the originals but they should make it more clear that that is what it is. Through the laughter, my husband summed it up best, "It's like we're at a class reunion at a Holiday Inn w/ a cover band." Now, none of those things are necessarily bad it's just not what we wanted or expected. Be forwarned!
