Singalong, 18 Nov 2008
My son loves this CD and often asks for it to be on at breakfast (much to my wife's annoyance !)
Compared to other children's CDs I have to say it's the least irritating , but one thing that irks is some songs have a couple of verses while others (usually the ones you really like !) only have little snippets

Great CD, thoroughly recommend it!, 18 Jun 2008
Bought this CD after reading the positive reviews and I'm really glad I did. Our 2-year-old girl loves it and despite playing it over and over again we haven't got fed up with it, which is praise indeed!
Disagree with the reviewer who didn't like the male vocalist's voice. I think it's a pleasant change to hear an English accent with perfect diction.
Great opening track which gets our daughter dancing and our feet tapping immediately!
Really not that good or different, 27 May 2008
I bought this album as a result of all the positive reviews. However, I don't agree with them. Yes, there is a very slight 'twist' in that some of the songs start with different beats or musical styles. BUT, the nursery rhymes are sung by two annoyingly 'stage school' sounding singers, particularly the chap. His voice is so irritating that I can't listen to it. Plus they are basically the same as the much cheaper, but much better, BBC nursery rhyme albums I bought.
A waste of money as it isn't really any different. Buy 'Colours Are Brighter' if you want a truly alternative childs album or any of the They Might be Giant CDs.
Lana Nimmo, 16 Mar 2008
It's great and cheerful and our one year old daughter loves dancing to it. It also is the kind of CD that does not drive the parents insane when listening to it again and again. I thoroughly recommend it.
The Best Nursery Rhyme CD, 11 Oct 2007
This is quite simply the best nursery rhyme CD I have heard. All of the songs are really fun and the whole family loves to listen to it. Top marks!
Oxbridge baby nursery rhymes , 29 Aug 2007
We were pleased with this CD. The music is played and sung well, and I can't see it getting on our nerves for quite some time. There is one reviewer who said he was worried that his child would look silly at school because the melodies are so different, but they seem to be quite close to the originals (as I remember them) to me. Anyway, children learn quickly so it wouldn't be too much of a problem. The only drawbacks are the cost of this and the fact that there's no song sheet inside for all those parents who've forgotten the lyrics. On the whole though, worth having.

Oh dear, 03 Sep 2007
I bought this because I didn't remember any nursery rhymes and wanted to sing them with my daughter. It arrived in a double CD case and I thought 'oh good'. Only to find it's one CD of half finished songs. 10 green bottles finishes at 6, Nelly the elephant has no second verse, I could go on. Save your money on this one.
Quantity not Quality, 28 May 2007
I have been looking at the best albums for children and have seen this title is there quite a lot. Well don't be fooled, I have a copy and although there are loads of nursery rhymes on it you really wouldn't want to listen to many of them.
Boring is one word that describes this album. It is a shame that the people who make these kind of things think they can put loads of titles onto a CD and that will make it good, it doesn't!!!
Very Enjoyable, 13 May 2007
I have been enjoying playing this cd to entertain our new baby and particularly like the fact that it came with a booklet of words so I can learn them all!!
Brilliant, 09 Mar 2007
My son likes this and I play it at the mother & toddler group I run. Songs are in various styles and children won't get bored listening. Grown ups would like the songs too, as you even have a 'Tony Bennett like' voice singing one of the songs.

It's for the Kids, 13 Aug 2008
Although the voices are a bit annoying and as an adult I can hear little merit in this stuff, my kids absolutely love the Sticky Kids and can't get enough of them. If you need sophisticated drum breaks and top quality sound perhaps something from the adult selection is for you. If you want your pre-schoolers entertained, this is fantastic. Whoever makes this stuff has a good handle on what the little ones like. Let your children decide if it's any good or not.
Good for hyper kids ;-), 13 Nov 2007
It's not the best recording I ever heard. Not too well recorded, with cheap drum samples etc and kids with strong Glasgow accents (funny that) but the songs are the right ones for kids with too much energy. Like a sort of a aerobics for kids. Stand-up, sit Down, gets them laughing and me out of breath. I used it with my kids for indoor play-time at the pre-school I work at and it did the job.
Excellent resource, 15 Aug 2007
I use this CD with my reception class and we all absolutely love it! It's fun and gets the children moving! We have all got lots fitter with Sticky Kids!!
don't get this one, 23 Jun 2007
I was interested on getting this for my daughter. The idea of her being motivated to dance and move to music sounded wonderful, especially when we are stuck indoors when there's bad weather. Well, we put it in the cd player, and were so disappointed. It is of such bad quality and the voices were extremely annoying. They sound like amateur school teachers that decided to put together a recording... Okay, maybe I'm being a bit harsh, but definitely a waste of money - poor quality. Don't bother getting this. My daughter is totally unterested in it and we never played it again.
music and movement for lively four year olds, 25 Feb 2006
My reception class have had a great deal of fun with this CD. It makes them listen, keeps them active and creates a great atmosphere of excitement. There is a good variety of action songs and rhymes which we've learned a few at a time, but last week we strung them all together and 'performed' the whole CD. What a sense of achievement! I've now bought the next Sticky Kids CD and we're ready to start again.

Irritating cd, 22 Feb 2008
This sounded like a great buy initially. My baby boy loves songs but although there are 100 of them, you can't select which one you want to listen to. It only comes in two sections and to hear a popular song, you have to plough through an irritating selection of spoken rhymes. I've given up trying to listen to it now.
Poor CD, 07 Feb 2007
Most of the nursery rhymes and songs are incomplete as only one verse is played
Old fashion Nursery Rhymes, 17 Feb 2003
The cd was a bit of a dissapointment. The voice used for the nursery rhymes was very annoying (the baby started to cry!).
The quality of the recording was quite poor.

About time!, 07 Jul 2008
This is the 4th Cd I've bought for baby - and about time I got one this appropriate. Fantastically normal - not folky, operatic or weirdly modern - sung by normal voices with a bit of character for each song. Listened to it loads already and still not annoyed in the slightest.
Great Nursery Rhyme CD, 06 Jul 2008
This CD is a really good one! The nursery rhymes are sung in full by people that can sing and with good music background. My 16 month old daughter has been listening to it since she was born and now joins in by singing along! It's worth getting for long car journeys, babies and kids will love it and its not too annoying for parents either!!
Sound like your old school music teacher!!!, 17 Nov 2006
My baby likes listening to music but this one does nothing for him. The songs are very dull and they really start to get on your nerves after a very short while. Although it is not expensive it is still not worth the money.
Warning - Do Not Buy This CD!!, 26 Aug 2006
Brought this CD for my son and all i can say is....what a load of rubbish!
It has some man doing most the songs and it sounds just awful!! There's a lady that attempts a couple of tracks too, but she's just as annoying!!!
Why can't they just let the kiddies record the songs? After all, thats who there aimed at, isn't it?? I mean, who wants to listen to some grown man singing kiddies songs, how boring?!?
Truthlly, its on par with some tacky CD you might find at a car boot.....for 50p!!
So if you were concidering buying it, pleaes don't waste your time.....like i did!!
excellent, 04 Jul 2006
this is the first nursery rhyme CD I have enjoyed listening to. The musical accompaniment is different for each song unlike all the other CDs we have- unless you hear the words of them it is difficult to know which rhyme it is!

There is one reviewer who said he was worried that his child would look silly at school because the melodies are so different, but they seem to be quite close to the originals (as I remember them) to me. Anyway, children learn quickly so it wouldn't be too much of a problem. The only drawbacks are the cost of this and the fact that there's no song sheet inside for all those parents who've forgotten the lyrics. On the whole though, worth having.
Oh dear, 03 Sep 2007
I bought this because I didn't remember any nursery rhymes and wanted to sing them with my daughter. It arrived in a double CD case and I thought 'oh good'. Only to find it's one CD of half finished songs. 10 green bottles finishes at 6, Nelly the elephant has no second verse, I could go on. Save your money on this one.
Quantity not Quality, 28 May 2007
I have been looking at the best albums for children and have seen this title is there quite a lot. Well don't be fooled, I have a copy and although there are loads of nursery rhymes on it you really wouldn't want to listen to many of them.
Boring is one word that describes this album. It is a shame that the people who make these kind of things think they can put loads of titles onto a CD and that will make it good, it doesn't!!!
Very Enjoyable, 13 May 2007
I have been enjoying playing this cd to entertain our new baby and particularly like the fact that it came with a booklet of words so I can learn them all!!
Brilliant, 09 Mar 2007
My son likes this and I play it at the mother & toddler group I run. Songs are in various styles and children won't get bored listening. Grown ups would like the songs too, as you even have a 'Tony Bennett like' voice singing one of the songs.
It's for the Kids, 13 Aug 2008
Although the voices are a bit annoying and as an adult I can hear little merit in this stuff, my kids absolutely love the Sticky Kids and can't get enough of them. If you need sophisticated drum breaks and top quality sound perhaps something from the adult selection is for you. If you want your pre-schoolers entertained, this is fantastic. Whoever makes this stuff has a good handle on what the little ones like. Let your children decide if it's any good or not.
Good for hyper kids ;-), 13 Nov 2007
It's not the best recording I ever heard. Not too well recorded, with cheap drum samples etc and kids with strong Glasgow accents (funny that) but the songs are the right ones for kids with too much energy. Like a sort of a aerobics for kids. Stand-up, sit Down, gets them laughing and me out of breath. I used it with my kids for indoor play-time at the pre-school I work at and it did the job.
Excellent resource, 15 Aug 2007
I use this CD with my reception class and we all absolutely love it! It's fun and gets the children moving! We have all got lots fitter with Sticky Kids!!
don't get this one, 23 Jun 2007
I was interested on getting this for my daughter. The idea of her being motivated to dance and move to music sounded wonderful, especially when we are stuck indoors when there's bad weather. Well, we put it in the cd player, and were so disappointed. It is of such bad quality and the voices were extremely annoying. They sound like amateur school teachers that decided to put together a recording... Okay, maybe I'm being a bit harsh, but definitely a waste of money - poor quality. Don't bother getting this. My daughter is totally unterested in it and we never played it again.
music and movement for lively four year olds, 25 Feb 2006
My reception class have had a great deal of fun with this CD. It makes them listen, keeps them active and creates a great atmosphere of excitement. There is a good variety of action songs and rhymes which we've learned a few at a time, but last week we strung them all together and 'performed' the whole CD. What a sense of achievement! I've now bought the next Sticky Kids CD and we're ready to start again.
Irritating cd, 22 Feb 2008
This sounded like a great buy initially. My baby boy loves songs but although there are 100 of them, you can't select which one you want to listen to. It only comes in two sections and to hear a popular song, you have to plough through an irritating selection of spoken rhymes. I've given up trying to listen to it now.
Poor CD, 07 Feb 2007
Most of the nursery rhymes and songs are incomplete as only one verse is played
Old fashion Nursery Rhymes, 17 Feb 2003
The cd was a bit of a dissapointment. The voice used for the nursery rhymes was very annoying (the baby started to cry!).
The quality of the recording was quite poor.
About time!, 07 Jul 2008
This is the 4th Cd I've bought for baby - and about time I got one this appropriate. Fantastically normal - not folky, operatic or weirdly modern - sung by normal voices with a bit of character for each song. Listened to it loads already and still not annoyed in the slightest.
Great Nursery Rhyme CD, 06 Jul 2008
This CD is a really good one! The nursery rhymes are sung in full by people that can sing and with good music background. My 16 month old daughter has been listening to it since she was born and now joins in by singing along! It's worth getting for long car journeys, babies and kids will love it and its not too annoying for parents either!!
Sound like your old school music teacher!!!, 17 Nov 2006
My baby likes listening to music but this one does nothing for him. The songs are very dull and they really start to get on your nerves after a very short while. Although it is not expensive it is still not worth the money.
Warning - Do Not Buy This CD!!, 26 Aug 2006
Brought this CD for my son and all i can say is....what a load of rubbish!
It has some man doing most the songs and it sounds just awful!! There's a lady that attempts a couple of tracks too, but she's just as annoying!!!
Why can't they just let the kiddies record the songs? After all, thats who there aimed at, isn't it?? I mean, who wants to listen to some grown man singing kiddies songs, how boring?!?
Truthlly, its on par with some tacky CD you might find at a car boot.....for 50p!!
So if you were concidering buying it, pleaes don't waste your time.....like i did!!
excellent, 04 Jul 2006
this is the first nursery rhyme CD I have enjoyed listening to. The musical accompaniment is different for each song unlike all the other CDs we have- unless you hear the words of them it is difficult to know which rhyme it is!
what a joy!, 06 Jun 2008
Our whole family loves this cd.My daughter (3,5) loves to dance to "real" music and this is it!The makers really connect with what children like in a not childish way.And on top of that the music grooves and the singing is great!Fantastic!As soon as this cd is playing there's a party in the house.
Thank you for making a children cd with respect for the kids!And with so much quality on many levels!
Funky Tunes for kids, 03 Mar 2008
Sick to death of the usual boring nursery rhymes and watered down 'pop' tunes for kids it was so refreshing to find something a little bit different. Big Songs for Little Ones is not like any kids CD you've ever heard before. I imagine for the two negative reviewers below it was just too far out of their comfort zone! Don't buy this CD if you like the dull ELC CD's for kids. DO buy this CD if you want to expose your baby or child to something different and make your car journeys a little bit more fun!
Amandas action Kids Big songs for little ones, 27 Feb 2008
I bought this cd for my two girls and when we put it on we just had a great time dancing around, not only did we all know the songs but the music is fab too. It really gives you a feel good factor and I never get sick of hearing it. It really is for grown ups too. On looking and reading a previous review I felt so strongly that I had to write how great it is, For the record I am not a friend only a fan as are my kids of the music.
Read this review before buying this CD, 20 Nov 2007
Not one to complain for no reason I felt I should comment on this pretty bad CD. I, like 3 other mums I know, bought this CD based on the reviews we read here and have all been very let down. The only true review says that it sounds like their child made the music and that is very true. It is annoying and has not amused any child I know.
The reviews on amazon all look like they have been written by people who have never heard the album. Also there have been 11 reviews in the past month which seems very strange to anyone who buys stuff on amazon. That many great reviews for a childrens CD? I can only think the makers friends like to post positive comments.
Wonderful Christmas Gift, 12 Nov 2007
I've finally found the perfect Christmas gift for my nieces and nephews. Of course, I listen to the CD myself, but I get to use them as the excuse!

Singalong, 18 Nov 2008
My son loves this CD and often asks for it to be on at breakfast (much to my wife's annoyance !)
Compared to other children's CDs I have to say it's the least irritating , but one thing that irks is some songs have a couple of verses while others (usually the ones you really like !) only have little snippets
Great CD, thoroughly recommend it!, 18 Jun 2008
Bought this CD after reading the positive reviews and I'm really glad I did. Our 2-year-old girl loves it and despite playing it over and over again we haven't got fed up with it, which is praise indeed!
Disagree with the reviewer who didn't like the male vocalist's voice. I think it's a pleasant change to hear an English accent with perfect diction.
Great opening track which gets our daughter dancing and our feet tapping immediately!
Really not that good or different, 27 May 2008
I bought this album as a result of all the positive reviews. However, I don't agree with them. Yes, there is a very slight 'twist' in that some of the songs start with different beats or musical styles. BUT, the nursery rhymes are sung by two annoyingly 'stage school' sounding singers, particularly the chap. His voice is so irritating that I can't listen to it. Plus they are basically the same as the much cheaper, but much better, BBC nursery rhyme albums I bought.
A waste of money as it isn't really any different. Buy 'Colours Are Brighter' if you want a truly alternative childs album or any of the They Might be Giant CDs.
Lana Nimmo, 16 Mar 2008
It's great and cheerful and our one year old daughter loves dancing to it. It also is the kind of CD that does not drive the parents insane when listening to it again and again. I thoroughly recommend it.

Good music - annoying chatter, 23 May 2008
Thought this was a lovely idea for a children's CD, with great songs (and slightly 'different' from the norm) from around the world. I was really disappointed in the never-ending introductions and unconstructive 'chatter' before every single song, though, making it completely useless as a bedtime CD or even a nice 'music' CD, since it's all turned into a kind of lesson and once listened to my kids couldn't be bothered listening to it again as it was boring second time around and rather pointless. Very disappointing as the idea was super.

I was really disappointed in the never-ending introductions and unconstructive 'chatter' before every single song, though, making it completely useless as a bedtime CD or even a nice 'music' CD, since it's all turned into a kind of lesson and once listened to my kids couldn't be bothered listening to it again as it was boring second time around and rather pointless. Very disappointing as the idea was super.
what a joy!, 06 Jun 2008
Our whole family loves this cd.My daughter (3,5) loves to dance to "real" music and this is it!The makers really connect with what children like in a not childish way.And on top of that the music grooves and the singing is great!Fantastic!As soon as this cd is playing there's a party in the house.
Thank you for making a children cd with respect for the kids!And with so much quality on many levels!
Funky Tunes for kids, 03 Mar 2008
Sick to death of the usual boring nursery rhymes and watered down 'pop' tunes for kids it was so refreshing to find something a little bit different. Big Songs for Little Ones is not like any kids CD you've ever heard before. I imagine for the two negative reviewers below it was just too far out of their comfort zone! Don't buy this CD if you like the dull ELC CD's for kids. DO buy this CD if you want to expose your baby or child to something different and make your car journeys a little bit more fun!
Amandas action Kids Big songs for little ones, 27 Feb 2008
I bought this cd for my two girls and when we put it on we just had a great time dancing around, not only did we all know the songs but the music is fab too. It really gives you a feel good factor and I never get sick of hearing it. It really is for grown ups too. On looking and reading a previous review I felt so strongly that I had to write how great it is, For the record I am not a friend only a fan as are my kids of the music.
Read this review before buying this CD, 20 Nov 2007
Not one to complain for no reason I felt I should comment on this pretty bad CD. I, like 3 other mums I know, bought this CD based on the reviews we read here and have all been very let down. The only true review says that it sounds like their child made the music and that is very true. It is annoying and has not amused any child I know.
The reviews on amazon all look like they have been written by people who have never heard the album. Also there have been 11 reviews in the past month which seems very strange to anyone who buys stuff on amazon. That many great reviews for a childrens CD? I can only think the makers friends like to post positive comments.
Wonderful Christmas Gift, 12 Nov 2007
I've finally found the perfect Christmas gift for my nieces and nephews. Of course, I listen to the CD myself, but I get to use them as the excuse!

Customer Reviews
Singalong, 18 Nov 2008
My son loves this CD and often asks for it to be on at breakfast (much to my wife's annoyance !)
Compared to other children's CDs I have to say it's the least irritating , but one thing that irks is some songs have a couple of verses while others (usually the ones you really like !) only have little snippets
Great CD, thoroughly recommend it!, 18 Jun 2008
Bought this CD after reading the positive reviews and I'm really glad I did. Our 2-year-old girl loves it and despite playing it over and over again we haven't got fed up with it, which is praise indeed!
Disagree with the reviewer who didn't like the male vocalist's voice. I think it's a pleasant change to hear an English accent with perfect diction.
Great opening track which gets our daughter dancing and our feet tapping immediately!
Really not that good or different, 27 May 2008
I bought this album as a result of all the positive reviews. However, I don't agree with them. Yes, there is a very slight 'twist' in that some of the songs start with different beats or musical styles. BUT, the nursery rhymes are sung by two annoyingly 'stage school' sounding singers, particularly the chap. His voice is so irritating that I can't listen to it. Plus they are basically the same as the much cheaper, but much better, BBC nursery rhyme albums I bought.
A waste of money as it isn't really any different. Buy 'Colours Are Brighter' if you want a truly alternative childs album or any of the They Might be Giant CDs.
Lana Nimmo, 16 Mar 2008
It's great and cheerful and our one year old daughter loves dancing to it. It also is the kind of CD that does not drive the parents insane when listening to it again and again. I thoroughly recommend it.
The Best Nursery Rhyme CD, 11 Oct 2007
This is quite simply the best nursery rhyme CD I have heard. All of the songs are really fun and the whole family loves to listen to it. Top marks!
Oxbridge baby nursery rhymes , 29 Aug 2007
We were pleased with this CD. The music is played and sung well, and I can't see it getting on our nerves for quite some time. There is one reviewer who said he was worried that his child would look silly at school because the melodies are so different, but they seem to be quite close to the originals (as I remember them) to me. Anyway, children learn quickly so it wouldn't be too much of a problem. The only drawbacks are the cost of this and the fact that there's no song sheet inside for all those parents who've forgotten the lyrics. On the whole though, worth having.
Oh dear, 03 Sep 2007
I bought this because I didn't remember any nursery rhymes and wanted to sing them with my daughter. It arrived in a double CD case and I thought 'oh good'. Only to find it's one CD of half finished songs. 10 green bottles finishes at 6, Nelly the elephant has no second verse, I could go on. Save your money on this one.
Quantity not Quality, 28 May 2007
I have been looking at the best albums for children and have seen this title is there quite a lot. Well don't be fooled, I have a copy and although there are loads of nursery rhymes on it you really wouldn't want to listen to many of them.
Boring is one word that describes this album. It is a shame that the people who make these kind of things think they can put loads of titles onto a CD and that will make it good, it doesn't!!!
Very Enjoyable, 13 May 2007
I have been enjoying playing this cd to entertain our new baby and particularly like the fact that it came with a booklet of words so I can learn them all!!
Brilliant, 09 Mar 2007
My son likes this and I play it at the mother & toddler group I run. Songs are in various styles and children won't get bored listening. Grown ups would like the songs too, as you even have a 'Tony Bennett like' voice singing one of the songs.
It's for the Kids, 13 Aug 2008
Although the voices are a bit annoying and as an adult I can hear little merit in this stuff, my kids absolutely love the Sticky Kids and can't get enough of them. If you need sophisticated drum breaks and top quality sound perhaps something from the adult selection is for you. If you want your pre-schoolers entertained, this is fantastic. Whoever makes this stuff has a good handle on what the little ones like. Let your children decide if it's any good or not.
Good for hyper kids ;-), 13 Nov 2007
It's not the best recording I ever heard. Not too well recorded, with cheap drum samples etc and kids with strong Glasgow accents (funny that) but the songs are the right ones for kids with too much energy. Like a sort of a aerobics for kids. Stand-up, sit Down, gets them laughing and me out of breath. I used it with my kids for indoor play-time at the pre-school I work at and it did the job.
Excellent resource, 15 Aug 2007
I use this CD with my reception class and we all absolutely love it! It's fun and gets the children moving! We have all got lots fitter with Sticky Kids!!
don't get this one, 23 Jun 2007
I was interested on getting this for my daughter. The idea of her being motivated to dance and move to music sounded wonderful, especially when we are stuck indoors when there's bad weather. Well, we put it in the cd player, and were so disappointed. It is of such bad quality and the voices were extremely annoying. They sound like amateur school teachers that decided to put together a recording... Okay, maybe I'm being a bit harsh, but definitely a waste of money - poor quality. Don't bother getting this. My daughter is totally unterested in it and we never played it again.
music and movement for lively four year olds, 25 Feb 2006
My reception class have had a great deal of fun with this CD. It makes them listen, keeps them active and creates a great atmosphere of excitement. There is a good variety of action songs and rhymes which we've learned a few at a time, but last week we strung them all together and 'performed' the whole CD. What a sense of achievement! I've now bought the next Sticky Kids CD and we're ready to start again.
Irritating cd, 22 Feb 2008
This sounded like a great buy initially. My baby boy loves songs but although there are 100 of them, you can't select which one you want to listen to. It only comes in two sections and to hear a popular song, you have to plough through an irritating selection of spoken rhymes. I've given up trying to listen to it now.
Poor CD, 07 Feb 2007
Most of the nursery rhymes and songs are incomplete as only one verse is played
Old fashion Nursery Rhymes, 17 Feb 2003
The cd was a bit of a dissapointment. The voice used for the nursery rhymes was very annoying (the baby started to cry!).
The quality of the recording was quite poor.
About time!, 07 Jul 2008
This is the 4th Cd I've bought for baby - and about time I got one this appropriate. Fantastically normal - not folky, operatic or weirdly modern - sung by normal voices with a bit of character for each song. Listened to it loads already and still not annoyed in the slightest.
Great Nursery Rhyme CD, 06 Jul 2008
This CD is a really good one! The nursery rhymes are sung in full by people that can sing and with good music background. My 16 month old daughter has been listening to it since she was born and now joins in by singing along! It's worth getting for long car journeys, babies and kids will love it and its not too annoying for parents either!!
Sound like your old school music teacher!!!, 17 Nov 2006
My baby likes listening to music but this one does nothing for him. The songs are very dull and they really start to get on your nerves after a very short while. Although it is not expensive it is still not worth the money.
Warning - Do Not Buy This CD!!, 26 Aug 2006
Brought this CD for my son and all i can say is....what a load of rubbish!
It has some man doing most the songs and it sounds just awful!! There's a lady that attempts a couple of tracks too, but she's just as annoying!!!
Why can't they just let the kiddies record the songs? After all, thats who there aimed at, isn't it?? I mean, who wants to listen to some grown man singing kiddies songs, how boring?!?
Truthlly, its on par with some tacky CD you might find at a car boot.....for 50p!!
So if you were concidering buying it, pleaes don't waste your time.....like i did!!
excellent, 04 Jul 2006
this is the first nursery rhyme CD I have enjoyed listening to. The musical accompaniment is different for each song unlike all the other CDs we have- unless you hear the words of them it is difficult to know which rhyme it is!

My 2 1/2year old son loves this cd and he wants to listen to it all the time. It has taken the stress out of journeys in the car-and I find myself sing the songs later in the day!! - brilliant CD would recommend it to everyone.
Car Journey life saver!, 15 Aug 2007
