great for preK and K I have a cd also from the Countdown Kids and it is great, so I was searching for others and found this one. The accompaniments are interesting and well done, as well as the singing. As an elementary music teacher, I buy many, many cd’s for my classroom and am often disappointed by the quality of the singing or the instrumentation. Young children will love this cd and easily sing along.
Lots of songs I had forgotten all about! The selection of songs in this album is excellent and brought me back to my childhood! My only criticism is not the occasional sour notes (they are KIDS after all–and very talented kids at that), but that one of the singers has a lisp. You will hear a few songs like “Thkip to my Lou” and “Yellow Rothe of Texthath”. I know it’s not the poor kid’s fault, but I also don’t want my kids to start to imitate the lisp they hear in some of these songs. I’ll be looking for alternate versions of some of these songs for that reason, but the majority of the songs are this album are great (the kid with the lisp is the lead singer in only a few of the songs).
Great choice for a buck Lots of fun songs for kids, mine just love ‘em. No problems downloading with Ubuntu 8.10, the download speed would vary a little during the download but no issues otherwise. The guy that could only get to song 15 must’ve been having connection or computer problems.
