Excellent compilation at the right price.

"This is an album with many songs, that's true, and my child loves it! She asks for it by "Pete Seeger music" and we sing most of her favorites together such as "I know a little girl".
Countless hours of good music that I don't mind playing and playing again. It has a booklet with the songs and explanations that help to understand a past that we've forgotten or didn't know."
A bit too much? How are you listening?

"I never thought I'd be less than enthuiastic about something from Pete Seeger ... but it wasn't necessarily a brillant idea to merge two LP's on a single CD. If you listen straight through, the songs will start blurring together - too much of the same good thing.However, if you select several tracks - any tracks, they may be your whim of the day - you will find the normal excellent performance of Pete Seeger - and an excellent selection of folk music. For example, his "Jim Crack Corn" (many of us learned it as "Jimmy Crack Corn") is a varient with enough difference in the musical rhythm that anyone would note the difference ... a step towards showing children that folk music doesn't have a "right text". And pieces perhaps too well known to children when this material was record, e.g. Here We Go 'Round the Mulburry Bush, get melded into medleys ... again showing that folk music is already known without wasting a lot of precious LP space on it."
Lots of Fun!

"This disk is a delight for children as well the young at heart. The songs are fun and singable. The acompanying booklet contains the words to every song, so that you can sing along. The booklet also includes motions and/or other activities to go along with a few of the songs. This disk is a great way to introduce young children to the wonderful heritage of American folk music. Adults will enjoy it as well."
