This Land Is Your Land2 reviews
Phil Rosenthal
American Melody, 1999
We Really Enjoyed This!
+ At last. A CD with the classics on it!
I found this CD at my public library and thought it might be an adequate collection to introduce my 5 year old daughter to some classic American folksongs.
I have never heard of this guy Phil Rosenthal before (should I have?) but I thought all the songs were surprisingly enjoyable to listen to. ...

+ Great intro r]to classical music!
+ High Five
My kids (ages 3-10), my husband, and I all love all three of the Beethoven's Wig CD's. They are a wonderful way to get kids (and adults!) familiar with many of the great classics by great composers. The lyrics are hilarious and often educational at the same time (for example, "It's spring, time ...

So much fun they won't notice the education
The songs are catchy and fun, and have enough musical variety to keep the adults from going crazy. My five year old loves "Fungi, Bacteria, Invertebrates" and the "Water Cycle Boogie". It's especially fun to watch people's surprised faces as he sings about Evaporation, Precipitation, and ...

In an age of disposability--where new, supposedly smarter products quickly outdate those less savvy--it can be difficult to teach young children the values of preserving natural resources, recycling, and responsibility to our planet. Now, in addition to modeling Earth-friendly behaviors, moms and dads can play Environmental Songs for Kids . Here New England musician and school teacher Coco ...

This Pretty Planet
+ best environmental songs ever
+ If you want to "grow an environmentalist" start here
While it is probably a special kind of sin to say it, I have always preferred Tom Chapin's music to that of his late brother, Harry. This Pretty Planet is just the latest offering by Chapin meant (perhaps) as a children's recording, but it will be enjoyed people of any age. The addition of the ...
