The Positive Reviews must be from Relatives

"I tend to rely on the consumer reviews of products when puchasing something that I'm not familiar with. Well, when I purchased this item - there were only positive reviews. (Since then, I see that there are a couple of others who have my same reaction......) A few songs into this CD, I thought that the folks who gave this a positive review must have something to gain from the sales of this release. It's really not a good CD for children. Yes, she has a somewhat pleasant voice, but this isn't the kind of music that captures a child's attention. It's way too slow, too high pitched, and not at all conducive to singing along. "Do you know the muffin man?" sounds like a painful piano bar rendition. I was looking for a good cd to play in the car or at home to sing along with my toddler and have him learn all the classics. This one is really hard to listen to for both of us. I wish I hadn't wasted my money."

A great sing-along for children... and adults

"My children, ages 4 and 2, are music lovers and this CD is by far their favorite. There is a wide variety of songs on this album, with some very familiar songs and other less familiar songs. Lisa Monet has a very lovely voice, which does not grate on adults' nerves. And after listening to this CD over and over for weeks on end, I still find myself singing along."

This is a great CD for small children

"My son is 16 mos. and we have been listening to this CD practically every day since he was 6 mos. and he never tires of it (although I must confess that sometimes I do). There are lots of songs -- some of them last only a minute or less -- and I think it is ideal for young children. Lisa Monet manages to make the songs very engaging for the children without overly annoying their parents. I highly recommend it."
