Synopsis

Amazon.com
Music for Little People has been living up to its moniker with a cornucopia of remarkable children's music releases since the mid-1980s. Its 15th Anniversary Collection is something of a greatest-hits package, with such notable "adult" performers as Taj Mahal (doing "Shake a Tailfeather"), Los Lobos, Michelle Shocked, the Persuasions, Maria Muldaur, and others. But it's the forever-young Raffi with "Baby Beluga" and Ladysmith Black Mambazo's "Mbube (The Lion Sleeps Tonight)" that will especially appeal to the little folks. Throw in Buckwheat Zydeco's rockin' Cajun version of an old New Orleans hit "Iko Iko" and Bill Haley and the Comets' timeless blast from the '50s, "Rock Around the Clock," and you get a party record the whole family will enjoy in the car or at home. Did somebody say Music for Little People rocks? Yes, and a whole lot more, too! -Martin Keller

CD Reviews

Great for the car
Jody Schaad | 02/24/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"My daughter and I love this collection of songs. We've learned the words to all of the songs and delight in listening to the music over and over. We particularly like to listen to this when we drive in the car. It keeps us both awake and entertained. The songs are adult versions of classic and contemporary songs, performed by accomplished artists. No annoying out of tune or overly high pitched voices. The album is pleasing to both adult and kids' ears. We like this collection so much that I have purchased other Music for Little People collections."
Great CD to engage you and your child

"We just recently received our CD and we love it. My son (7 months old) and I play it almost every afternoon and we sing and dance and his little eyes just light up! And sometimes my son just enjoys listening quietly. I debated on whether to get this or another CD collection by one artist and I'm really glad I decided on this one because it provides such a variety of songs, music, and artists and that's one of the things that makes this CD so good. Plus we now have been exposed to several artists we would not have known which opens up new windows of music opportunities.I would definately buy this as a gift for friends and will look for additional CD's produced by the same company as well as some of the artists of our favorite songs on this CD."
Great CD with a hidden benefit for parents

"We have played this CD about a zillion times in the car. Parents will have to endure Raffi and a child singing Yellow Submarine, but that's a small price worth paying. I love several of the tracks on this CD, especially Iko Iko. My kids (ages 2 and 6) love all the songs. The two year old's favorite is Little Red Caboose, but she has also learned the backup vocals for Monster Mash. My six year old's favorite is Day-O. So both parents and kids can thoroughly enjoy listening to this CD, and even belting out some of the tunes themselves.



But there is also a secret benefit, that you must not let your children in on. Although most of the songs are very lively, the last couple of tunes wind down the pace considerably. More than once, my little nap-avoiders have conked out before they got all the way through Mbube. It's worth having to listen to Baby Beluga."
