"This album of patriotic American songs is a great introduction to our country's patriotic music for young children. It is sung by a very good kids' group. Unlike most kids' CDs, the performers on this CD are past the "squeaky voice" stage, and the instrumentals are actually good, with lots of brass, so it's not bad listening even for adults. Also, the arrangements are fun and engaging enough for a toddler - my two-year-old is actually happy to listen to it and doesn't request me to switch to one of his other favorite CDs. About half of the songs are traditional (God Bless America, Star-Spangled Banner, America the Beautiful, My Country 'Tis of Thee, When the Saints Go Marching In, You're a Grand Old Flag, Anchors Aweigh) and half are popular music that captures the American spirit (What a Wonderful World, Don't Stop Thinking about Tomorrow, This Land is Your Land, We Are Family). A wonderful bonus is a recital of the Pledge of Allegiance on the last track. I've bought four or five CDs of American music trying to find a good one to introduce my children to these important songs, and this one is my favorite so far."

Awesome
