Synopsis

Amazon.com
Parents spoiled by the "family music" phenom--those who have come to expect that the music they buy for their kids will appeal to them as well--will be disappointed in Mommy & Me's "Playgroup Favorites." However, the CD does have its strengths--Mommy & Me veterans and current attendees will be instantly prepared to sing along with the first two tracks, "Mommy & Me" and "Shake My Hand," and the rest are no-brainers: graspably goofy renditions of "B-I-N-G-O" and the like. Suggested activities--moderate movement for some songs and aerobic cool-downs for others--make following the musical playgroup agenda at home a breeze, and the split-track format (the second half of the CD is an instrumental repeat of the first) keeps the floor-based fun going strong long after everybody has hugged themselves goodbye during "Take My Hand." --Tammy La Gorce

Playgroup Favorites CDs Provide a Great Way to Bond
E. Blenz-Clucas | Portland, OR United States | 02/10/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"With parents' time at a premium these days, resources like Mommy & Me CDs and DVDs are very helpful.These classic childhood songs were produced by a top songwriting-production team of Marty Panzer (Pocahontas II, The Lion King II) and Gregg Field (Now Dig This! A Vocal Celebration of Miles Davis, Earth). Both Mommy & Me CDs include 20-page activity guides with full lyrics, expert child development information and ideas for parents and kids to play and sing along with the music. These CDs provide a great way for parents and children to play and bond together - even when they can't get to the playgroup sessions.Mommy & Me is a national playgroup phenomenon that has become an integral part of today's parenting experience. When parents think of playgroups, they think of Mommy & Me. Millions of parents and their children have attended more than 350,000 parent/child classes and playgroups on a weekly basis over the past 30 years. Mommy & Me has incorporated its breadth of real-life experience with parents and young children, and the expert advice of early childhood educators around the country, to create the Together Time music and videos. The Mommy & Me experience relies on music to keep the fun rolling. The songs and activities on Playgroup Favorites and More Playgroup Favorites are educational in the broadest sense, but the main benefit is enhanced communication and bonding between parents and children. Take a look at the mommyandme.com website, too, to locate playgroups in your area!"

"My 2-year-old daughter, Emily, and I have the BEST time
while listening to the Mommy and Me Playgroup Favorites CD
going full blast! The songs are fantastic! They are the classics,
like "Itsy Bitsy Spider," with a new fresh twist.We especially love "The Grand Old Duke of York"
(with a fun fifties spin), "A Sailor Went to Sea, Sea, Sea,"
and of course "The Wheels on the Bus." The new lyrics by Marty Panzer are whimsical, original,
and so much fun for moms and kids to enjoy together. When we're in the car, my daughter actually cries when I turn the engine off, she just doesn't want the music to stop! We're looking forward to hearing this CD for a long time to come!"
