My Children Can't Stop Singing These Songs
Sandy | Portland, OR USA | 10/06/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)
"To write and produce rhythmic, gospel, easy rock, pop, and folk style, easy to learn songs for young children, all on one CD, that entertain and teach "Respect And Confidence" to my class of 1st graders is a big time accomplishment. The prize for this (which is no surprise) goes to Bobby Susser who always gets the job done. My class can't stop singing "Respect And Confidence," and all the kids are just as excited about the other songs and activities on this CD as well. The performances are really great. It's great music that teaches little ones the meaning and importance of respect and confidence. This CD is one that your children will have alot of respect for and alot of confidence in."
Bobby Susser Remains The Best For Preschool Children

"For the seven years I've taught preschool, I started out using Bobby Susser albums, and still do. His lyrics, music, and activities that reinforce the theme of each album work wonders, and quickly become the children's favorites. He has covered so much. "We Are Better Together" teaches how and why we are better together, and has great rhythms. "The Album For All Seasons" is the best album of songs to teach children about the seasons. "Wiggle Wiggle And Other Exercises" teaches the importance of exercise, and the kids love the exercises. The music is upbeat throughout all the songs and there is a rest song at the end. "I Have Songs In My Pocket" is a kid's album filled with all the basic skills, and Susser recruited Ben E. King, who has such a friendly voice, as the lead singer. Last year we got "Animals At The Zoo" which is by far, the ultimate album for animal and zoo songs. The stories, beats, and instruments really grab the children. All these albums could have kept us going forever. Now, to our delight, Bobby Susser created "Respect And Confidence" which is an event. While teaching all about respect and confidence, the children sing along and follow the activities that are suggested here. A Mass Choir, percussion instruments, banjo, guitars, different type drums, and the great Bobby Susser style songs, along with his singers, tastefully rock the preschool, as they teach the children proper lessons for the world they are in. Like all his albums in the past, just when you feel that you can't get more, and are fully satisfied, Bobby Susser gives you another one for more satisfaction and good use with children. He was the best from the start, and through the years, shows over and over that he remains the best with "Respect And Confidence." What could possibly be next. As we might wonder, he probably knows already."
Great Songs Teach "Respect And Confidence" To Young Children
Evelyn Kirby | Cincinnati, OH USA | 01/18/2005

"The unusual rhythms backed with a large choir behind the lead singers makes this Bobby Susser children's album exceptional and outstanding. These songs, that are easy to learn, teach children about the importance of respect and confidence for themselves, and for others. I'm a first grade teacher and have used this album on a regular basis with my class. The results are always greatly successful. These exceptional rhythms, simple lyrics, and important messages for young children are wonderful. Your children, as mine did, will embrace them, love them, learn from them, and enjoy them. Get a copy of "Respect And Confidence" for your children, and you will be thrilled that you did."
Bobby Susser Gives Our Children Respect And Confidence
Francine | Atlanta, GA USA | 07/19/2002

"I'm a director of a day care center, and I know that there are CDs our children should have and enjoy. But, this one is an absolute must. From its importance in subject matter to its musical approach for children, it contains an unusual amount of imagination and skill. From the rhythmic song "Respect And Confidence", that is sung by The Bobby Susser Singers and a New York Mass Choir, to a solo voice and guitar that teaches respect titled "Charlie Lika And Bobby", every note and word has been successfully written and produced. The songs and activities teach our children about respect and confidence, and give that to them at the same time. You can sense that the songs themselves were written and treated with respect, and the confidence in the creator of these songs is very apparent, refreshing, uplifting, and appealing. Respect And Confidence are so important in life, and Bobby Susser brought them to our children at the right time in their lives, and in a very enthusiastic, exciting way. These songs, lessons, and activities will not be forgotten."

"Using easy to learn lyrics, with extremely catchy melodies and choruses, and various singers including a New York Mass Choir, Bobby Susser created a sensational collection of songs for my preschool class to sing about "Respect And Confidence." The children can't wait to sing along, and clap their hands while they learn about these important subjects. We all know how serious it is for our children to know all about respect and confidence, and Bobby Susser put these ideas into great great exciting songs that have taught my class the importance of these songs as they are being entertained and enjoying themselves. It's a wonderful collection, a wonderful and unique way these subjects are being taught to young children, and a wonderful experience. All young children should experience this collection."
