"Our family are real Raffi lovers. There is something about his voice that is so pure and wholesome-sounding that he really appeals to kids, and we adults enjoy his music, too. I actually thought my children would be too old for this CD (Kalli, 8, and Mackie, 5), but as soon as I put it on they came in and asked me what it was. Before I heard it, I planned to give it to a neighbor when I was finished with the review, but even if I wanted to now (which I don't), Mackie won't part with it. She play sit on her new Hello, Kitty! portable CD player.



Raffi covers classic songs from everyone's childhood, like "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," "Row, Row, Row" and "Rock-a-bye Baby" but also includes six original compositions. Kalli and my favorite, being part of an overseas family, is "Like Me and You" about children from countries all over the world. He also includes two songs in other languages: "Fais Do Do" (French) and "Haru Ga Kita" (Japanese). Mackie especially likes "Mary Wore Her Red Dress" ("Now, THAT's my favorite!" she says).



The melodies are soothing, perfect for naptime or just to calm the kids on a busy afternoon. Each one is different, unique, yet they meld together so well to create another classic Raffi collection. This one is a keeper and will provide our family with relaxing music for years to come."

It Works!!!

"My one year old has a severe case of the colic.

Night after night after night of endless crying.

Totally Sleep deprived - both of us.

I got the Quiet Time cd, and put it on.

Within 10 minutes Jessie and I were sound asleep.

It works, and has been working for over a week now!

Thank you!"

A lifesaver!

"If you are a parent who has trouble getting your baby or child

to go to sleep, this album is right for you. This CD features

sedating versions of classic melodies as well as tunes with the

special Raffi touch. One of the songs on this album is "Row Row Row" which is not a song that Raffi sings, so there is a little

weirdness to this album. Raffi's albums can even be used in

intensive care units to calm listeners and promote healing from

traumatic injuries or life threatening operations. Raffi is

renowned for his work with infants and medically fragile people.

So this CD is the one for everyone."
