"This is a classic album of songs and tunes from an age when the radio was listened to by the whole family, albeit at different times. I am too young to remember uncle mac on the BBC but i do remember the songs. So does my daughter, I bought this album for her when she was 3. We listened to these songs for many years whilst on car journeys and to send her to sleep,they were great fun. It started her out on a journey into diverse musical influences and kept her a child for longer. She didnt need to dress up like madonna or kylie at the age of 4, she had nelly the elephant and can still sing the words to pink tooth brush at the age of 17 ( although as a punk goth rock chick she may wish she had amnesia)THIS IS GREAT STUFF FOR YOUR KIDS. It gives you a common frame of reference that doesnt revolve around your 4 or 5 year old wiggling their backside like a wannabe pop star.These songs are great for families to sing together to and the album should be included in all promotional packs given out by the nappy/diaper manufacturers when your child is born.
Childhood is about these songs and the simpler themes they provide.Some of these songs are classics. We still sing some of them and the album is nearly worn out from playing and taping. we really loved them - you will too."
The best children's album ever

"I agree with the other online reviewer. My children, ages 11 and 13, have been singing these songs with me in car journeys since they were 3 and 5, and they still sing them today. Even the ridiculous songs are delightful, and they grow even more delightful with time. Lots of British songs, classics, Danny Kaye, and some whacky tunes as well. "You're a Pink Toothbrush" is truly priceless."
