"This set includes three of Raffi's most popular records and is a great way to build a collection. These songs never seem to wear thin or become annoying like many other arrangements do. In fact, I know the recordings so well that I often catch myself singing the next song before it starts. The song selection is quite diverse. Some of the songs have a positive message, like about brushing your teeth or sharing with others. Other songs celebrate the joyful experience of being a child, like "Shake My Sillie's Out," "I Wonder If I'm Growing," or "Bumping Up and Down." Then there are ones that are just plain fun like "Willoughby Wallaby Woo" or "Oh Me, Oh My." But Raffi also includes some classic folk songs, like "Swing Low Sweet Chariot," "I've Been Working on the Railroad," and "Goodnight Irene." There are very few "duds" on this collection; most are the type of song that will just pop into your head someday, and for no reason at all you will find yourself humming it. My daughter loves these CD's and always breaks out in a wide smile after hearing the first few chords. Partially, I think she smiles because they always put me in a good mood too. Hey, you can't beat that!"

Wonderful! A Special Treasure for the Very Young

"These wonderful singable songs are children's classics. Every parent should own this collection. Raffi's music is silly and "just right" for little children. Adults will find themselves singing along too! With this collection, you get three of the five "must have" Raffi CD's. This collection, in my opinion, is the finest children's music ever recorded. Start listening early (age one). The first Raffi disc, Singable Songs for the Very Young, revolutionized the way artists approached children's music. It stands as a benchmark to compare all other children's recordings against, and other children's music grades very poorly compared to Raffi. Raffi is the Mr. Rogers of children's music, but funny. Also buy his concert video (pure magic!) or his concert CD, which older kids love too. Our family loves Raffi, and so will you!"

30 Years & Still Unmatched!

"30 years ago Raffi set the standard, a standard nobody has been able to match since then. Sure there are choices for children's music, but nobody has made a life-long career writing and performing the worlds best family friendly music. Raffi has even written and performed for the Dalia Lama, who in turn, has written the forward to Raffi's "Child Honoring" (www.raffinews.com)



If you're looking to have fun with and enrich your children, Raffi never fails. He is the gold standard. And this collection contains the cornerstones to his career. A great collection starter."
