Birds, Beasts, Bugs and Fishes (Little and Big)

As a child growing up in New York City I sat on the deck of Pete Seeger's boat "The Clearwater" and listened to him sing and play banjo to us (city kids). The memories of those sumer days and that wonderful music is still strong for me more than 30 years later. When I purchased this CD for my seven month old son two weeks ago I was curious to see if I would enjoy the music as much now as I did as a child. Happily my son LOVES this CD, and so do my husband and I. The songs are playful and melodic in a way that most children's music these days can't quite pull off. I recommend this CD highly for the whole family.

This is a wonderful cd for children and adults. The songs are simple and fun--a reminder of a gentler time. My children loved these songs as much as I loved them when I was a child. Highly recommended.

I was just introduced to this music in a playgroup for 6-12 month olds. They were all babbling and playing away when we turned on "I had a rooster". Within seconds the babies were completely silent and looking towards the direction of the music completely entralled! Some of them even started bouncing to it! A huge hit! I immediately came home and ordered a copy.

My parents borrowed this record from the library and recorded it to casette to listen to on our first long car trip.I was probably four years old. It quickly became a family favorite. Somewhere a long the way the tape was lost. Two decades had passed when just the other day I happend to catch a snippet of Froggie Went A Courtin on a public radio station. All of those memories came flooding back. Now I am buying it for my own children. I don't know what speaks more powerfully for this album than that.
