Click to purchase directly from the producer
Series:
AUDIO CD FOR AGES 5-8
Description -
When renowned musician and songwriter, Chip Taylor, became a grandfather, he directed his creative energy to writing new songs with and for his grandkids. Melds the husky, time-worn vocals and musical instincts of a seasoned performer with the charming artistry of his three young grandchildren. With introduction by Chip's brother, actor Jon Voight, and includes a 36-page booklet of lyrics.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say -
I remember Chip Taylor's previous songs, so I found this interesting and fun! I would enjoy listening to this with a young child. I am impressed, fun and lively, and I really like the love of family message throughout. Stresses following rules while still having fun in one song, taking care of our planet in another. All very positive messages. Songs teach respect, trust, honesty and caring for Earth. Chip Taylor is a very talented songwriter and musician. I remember songs such as "Wild Thing" and didn't know what to expect. This was a fun, lively CD, with catchy melodies and lyrics. I like that the songs focus on values and family and other things that children should learn about. What a pleasure!
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say -
"It was fun! Makes me want to dance!" Children danced to many of the songs. All of the children said they would listen to the CD again. They particularly liked the song about saving the planet, and one girl said the "Magical Horse was the best song!" Kids ages 3-8 in one group all said they liked it and their friends would too. "Teaches things kids should do like brush their teeth and do their homework." Two older kids even discussed what they could do to save the planet. All of the kids either sing or dance along. This was a hit with everyone.

BUG IN A PUDDLE

ONIRAM MUSIC
Click to purchase directly from the producer
Series:
AUDIO CD, AGES 2-5
Description -
High-spirited, creative and poetic original songs for both kids and parents. Characters include a tap-dancing frog, monkeys who can't sleep from the noise of hippos' sneezes, and a bug wondering about the universe.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say -
Gentle pop-rock style that will be enjoyable to many and too slow and sleepy for others. Some jurors found the lyrics to be fun and interesting. Our urban kids didn't relate to them. Adult jurors said they appreciated the production quality. Others found it confusing and too "new age." Adults who were not excited it still felt it would make a great CD for babies and toddlers to help them go to sleep. Each song is a separate entity and can be played by itself.
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say -
With adult engagement, children were able to use their imagination to think about some of the lyrics in the songs. One parent noted that the children "played well together" while it was on. "It made me sleepy." "The lady sounded nice." "The words were happy, but I didn't understand them all." "I wanted to learn about a bug in a puddle!"

DEBBIE AND FRIENDS: MORE STORY SONGS AND SING ALONGS (CD)
-
DEBBIE AND FRIENDS
Series:
AUDIO CD, AGES 5-8
Description -
Award-winning Debbie and Friends are back with new story songs, jokes, games and surprises to delight the whole family. Special guest Bob McGrath from Sesame Street.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say -
A nice mix of interactive and story songs. Some of the stories teach a simple lesson, most create vivid imagery and many are just silly. The music repeats refrains that are easily remembered, together with funny lyrics. Music is not overly simplistic like a lot of kid's music. Children will enjoy good music and singing, as well as exercising through interaction and dance.
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say -
From beginning to end, the children sang and danced around. "I like the tune, the singing, the dancing… I like the whole thing!" Kids could recall the stories told in the songs, "Willie, Rosie, Ronnie and Bob have special things about them that are different and interesting," "The parents don't listen to Willy when he tells why he won't smile." "Good music, I can hear all the instruments, sounds and background voices they use to tell the stories." After listening, some kids visited the website where they were treated to some of the videos of the songs and more fun and games which enhanced the overall experience.

A BAILAR LET'S DANCE! - SPANISH LEARNING SONGS CANCIONES INFANTILES
-
WHISTLEFRITZ LLC
Click to purchase directly from the producer
Series:
AUDIO CD, AGES 2-5
Description -
Songs that introduce kids to the Spanish words for numbers, letters, colors, body parts, directions and more. Authentic, upbeat, Latin rhythms include salsa, merengue, rumba, ranchera, corrida and rock n roll.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say -
This is a superb CD of children's songs - all in Spanish. The packaging is somewhat misleading because it touts the idea that it is "teaching" Spanish. This isn't really the case since there is no element here to attempts a language learning lesson. On the other hand, the music is pleasant and many of the tunes are ones that kids are familiar with such as Head and Shoulders; Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star and The Alphabet Song. For a Spanish speaking family, this is perfect but, if you're trying to learn Spanish, don't expect this to do that.
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say -
Kids immediately started moving to the beat of the first song and were quite interested in the music for the first four songs. After that, it was difficult to hold their interest as they didn't understand what the songs were about. Even when coached by an adult to listen to the Spanish words of familiar tunes, they lost interest.

Description -
Spanish & English for 3-years-old and up. Learn Numbers, Colors, Days, Greetings, Opposites, Animals and much more. Includes sing along, instrumentals and a parent-teacher guide with coloring book. Composed and performed by Ms Blanca. Music by C.Lieck
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say -
This compilation of songs sun in both Spanish and English would work well to teach English speaking kids Spanish or vice versa. The accompanying guide clarifies concepts. Also included is a fold out with the lyrics. It's pretty good, clearly recorded but a bit redundant. I found myself wanting something more. This would be difficult to listen to repeatedly. Some of the songs are sun to familiar tunes such as Jingle Bells, Where is John, and Farmer in the Dell. The length of each song is ideal - not too long or short. There are ten songs in total followed by instrumental versions of each song. The instrumental versions would be great for kids to work with to see how much they remembered.
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say -
Kids enjoyed the music, singing at times, dancing at other times. The song, "Numbers" was a favorite. "I liked all the songs." "Yes, my friends would like this." They liked learning the Spanish words for things they already knew. There wasn't much interest in playing it again though most likely, after a time, they would enjoy repeated listenings.

IT'S A BIG WORLD
-
ONE MELODY RECORDS
Series:
INDEPENDENT MUSIC CD, AGES 0-2
Description -
Luminous harmonies and sophisticated lullabies that children and adults will enjoy.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say -
Very soothing. Renee and Jeremy have impressive credentials as singer/songwriters for adults and created this disc while awaiting the birth of their own child. The result is an acoustic folk sound that provides a peaceful atmosphere for any child - or their frazzled parents. The song "Night Mantra" is exceptional - a promise of lifelong long from a parent to a child. "Shoorahlaywho" - the closing track, is also great. This song in an earlier generation might have been on Marlo Thomas' classic, "Free to Be You and Me." There is an interesting cover of Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds" which gives the song a whole different dimension.
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say -
Kids enjoyed this. They typically swayed and moved to the music. "Free" and "Powder Blue Sole" were two favorites. Their parents said they enjoyed the music and would play it again. One parent commented, "I used 'Sleep My Love' as a quiet down song and had very good results."

TIPPY STORY CD, THE
-
TIPPY, LLC
Click to purchase directly from the producer
Description -
A two-month-old Maltese pup sits quietly in a Boca Raton pet store having no knowledge of what life could be like beyond the walls of her little cage. A stranger walks in and they capture each others hearts. Their life together is seen through Tippy.
KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say -
Sweet, enjoyable. Divided into chapters for ease of listening to in segments. Some language and issues too adult for audience, ie. money vs. happiness and mating. Animal lovers tended to really love the story and felt that Tippy was "real." Biggest drawback is that the story tends to appeal to younger kids but the focus on mating and how much Tippy enjoyed her second breeding experience is really more appropriate for teens.
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say -
Some kids really resonated with it, especially those who love dogs. Others were bored. All the kids were able to discuss in detail the content. Several quoted their favorite parts from the script. One child told about the proceeds from sales going to animal health research. "It makes you think about dogs having feelings too." "This CD makes me love animals even more." "It made me want a puppy more."
