• The 20th-Century Children's Book Treasury: Picture Books and Stories to Read Aloud

In 1976 a young Toronto musician released a fun and lively record called Singable Songs for the Very Young. The artist was a fellow called Raffi, and in the liner notes he wrote at the time that "there are very few good children's records." True as that was in the '70s, Singable Songs became the No. 1 bestseller in its field and set the standard for today's greater volume of high-quality material. The Singable Songs Collection reissues the classic Singable Songs for the Very Young and its superlative successors, More Singable Songs and Corner Grocery Store, as a set. Raffi's exhilarating acoustic musicality and sense of humor shine brightly through. Single-digit-age kids and their parents will get a kick out of these silly, educational, and joyful songs, which range in subject matter and tone from shared peanut-butter sandwiches and instrumental ragtime to standards like "Goodnight, Irene." --Paige La Grone

Summary: Great classic songs and good messages
Comment: This is a GREAT set of Raffi music - my son and I love listening to all three CDs - I am so happy to have this set. Raffi has a classic voice - pleasant and soothing. My fav song is Sodeo on the second cd, but all are great. Good mixture of classic songs, original songs, upbeat music, lullabies, instruments - great for singing and dancing!
