Toddler Favorites

March 17, 1998
This cd is great for a toddler-my two year old daughter loves it! She loves to sing along and I actually don't mind when she wants to listen to her music! The singer on this cd isn't annoying too and that always helps when choosing the right kind of toddler music! For the price this can't be beat!

What's to say?
Free to Be You and Me is timeless, brilliant, and super fun for kids of all ages.
Great cast, wonderfully imaginative songs.
Too bad nobody's making an updated version!

A Very Special Christmas

The original "A Very Special Christmas". I remember buying the LP when it first came out and loved it so much that I decided to get the CD recently. Still a classic. Great Album.

A Very Special Christmas, Vol. 2

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Compilations
by: Various Artists

October 20, 1992
This is the best of the series in my opinion. The Tom Petty original that opens the CD is worth the cost of the CD alone. It is the single best rock and roll Christmas song ever written. Ann and Nancy Wilson deliver a great version of Blue Christmas and the Randy Travis Jingle Bell Rock is the best version I have heard. Bon Jovi rocks, Luther adds a bit of great jazz and although I am not typically a fan of hers -- Sinead O'Conner delivers a beautiful version of "I believe in you". There are a few duds, including Run DMC and Michael Bolton, but the bulk of the CD has very strong performances making this a classic Christmas CD in my home.

Songs That Got Us Through WWII

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Compilations
by: Various Artists

March 16, 1990
I purchased the songs of WWII CD for my 84 yr old Dad's birthday . . . he and my mother are both enjoying it so much that it's obvious it was a great choice. They told me that they even loaned it to their neighbor to listen to, but made sure he knew they expected it back the next day. Now instead of having the radio or TV on (both of which have little to offer for their age group), they are listening to "THEIR" music in the afternoons.

Dr. Demento Presents: Greatest Christmas Novelty CD

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Compilations
from: Rhino / Wea

July 31, 1989
I honestly bought this CD for one song and that was "all I want for x-mas is a hippotamus". I love that song and Alvin and the Chipmunks. For me the rest of the songs sucked and they arent worth anything to me. But I couldnt find the song I wanted as a single at the time. Just make sure that you read the songs included list before you buy.

Handel's Messiah: A Soulful Celebration

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Compilations
by: Dianne Reeves, Patti Austin, Stevie Wonder, George Duke, Take 6, Al Jarreau

September 29, 1992
Quincy Jones already rocks my world. I have nothing but respect for him and the level of musical excellence that has always surrounded anything he put his considerable mind and talent to. But this re-imagining of Handel's Messiah from an African-American perspective is exceptional, extraordinary, unabated joy--especially in "And He Shall Purify" and "Hallelujah!" I am a middle-aged white musician/pianist/voice teacher in New York City. I got my Master's at Indiana University in voice. I was raised a Southern-Baptist even! I only offer up this information to suggest what an unlikely candidate I might be to enjoy this CD. I can't stop smiling and moving with these extraordinary performances when I put this CD on. God bless Michael O. Jackson ... Read More:

The Time-Life Treasury of Christmas

When we play this Christmas CD, we suddenly find ourselves back in time when we were kids listening to the stereo at home on Chrismtas Day. It's a perfect way to create or recall Christmas memories.
