 Baby loves it October 11, 2008
Happy with the music and book. Really nice to have all the "oldies" to teach our new granddaughter.
 A wonderful set of songs and fingerplays June 3, 2008
About 7 years ago, when my dd was a baby, someone gave me the set with the book, CD and cassette. This was our absolute favourite - she loved it so much that it was pretty much on all the time, and it didn't irritate the living daylights out of me to hear it all the time (which most mommies will likely agree is a rare thing indeed!) We did get other Wee Sing titles, but this one is the best, in my opinion. Only one problem with it, though - you may find yourself with one or more of the songs stuck in your head all day long.....I remember walking around with "Three Blue Pigeons" stuck in my head, for days ..... (only for it to be replaced with the song about elephants jumping on a spider's web) lol!
There are a lot of things about this set that endeared it to me. For starters, the music is well done, but not overdone or overly flowery. The children's voices are tuneful and lovely (but not overly perfect, either). The overall effect of this is that you feel encouraged to sing along, rather than just listen (no matter how well -or badly- you sing). Another lovely thing is that the instrument voices, and sound effects chosen for the songs really enhance them - for example, the song about elephants jumping on a spiderweb has a wonderful deep bouncy drum tone. Wonderfully illustrative!
We lost the CD at a friend's house, and the cassette is, of course, quite dead now, but I still remember a lot of the songs (we still have the book), and still use the little lullabye medley to sing my ds (now 17 months) to sleep, and I sing the "Good Morning" song when he gets up in the morning. Big smiles every time :)
Now that I've found it again, I will definitely be buying another copy. This one's a definite keeper - enjoy!
best kiddie cd out there March 11, 2008
i was given this cd by an aunt, and my first daughter was only 5 months old when I started playing it in the car. It was the only thing that kept her quiet in the car seat. She would holler until I put the cd on. By the time she was 18 months old, she knew all the songs and sang them! Now my daughter is 4 and my other daughter is 2 and a half. The poor cd wore out and I bought another one off amazon in the meantime, and that one is starting to skip too now. They need to make cd's for kids more durable since these cd's are going to be played over and over and over again! This cd was the best thing that happened to us other than the children

I bought this when my daughter was around 18 months she just loved following along with the fingerplays. Hours and Hours of entertainment.
my 2 year old's favorite October 12, 2006

We bought many children's song for my son, and this is his favorite. He loves to buzzz when he hears the bee comes, and claps his hand when he hears "clap you your hand as slowly as you can ...". He didn't talk too much before, but this tape really makes him much more vocal then before. The music is so soothing and he listens to it every day before he goes to bed.
