While it's incredible to have such diverse offerings for our kids today, there is something about that timeless, pure, old-school style of storytelling that I still have a soft spot for deep down. ...

A wonderful new lullaby CD for moms tired of Brahms...or just plain tired

Justin Roberts LullabyStocking-stuffer alert for the sleep-deprived: I'm used to listening to Justin Roberts' songs with the kids in the car, with the volume turned up more than halfway. In my opinion, he is one of the best at sing-along choruses, clever wordplay, and high-energy kid-pop.

Wishing for a great kids' CD? Throw a Penny in the Wishing Well

Throw a Penny in the Wishing WellMy singing voice is best kept in the shower. But that didn't stop me from singing to my kids when they were younger, though I'd usually do it along with the lovelier voices of Laurie Berkner, Frances England, and Charlie Hope. ...

Rabbit Days and Dumplings serves up deliciously different family music

Rabbit Days and Dumplings - Elena Moon Park and FriendsThanks to an Austrian grandmother and a healthy selection of Putumayo Kids music my kids have been exposed to a fairly diverse tapestry of children's music...although I will admit that our knowledge of any music from East Asia is almost nonexistent.
