The songs are fun and upbeat and I remember many of them from when I was younger. I like songs such as "If You're Happy and You Know it" and "Wheels on the Bus" because they make you want to dance along or sing. There are also instrumentals of each song. Kids ages four to eight would enjoy this CD. All the songs are fun, interactive and upbeat. They are songs that are pretty common. They are well recorded, and I especially enjoyed the instrumental versions of the songs. This is definitely a sing-along, dance-along CD.
Bob's Favorite Sing-Along Songs are just that with a little added punch. Bob McGrath, a familiar face and voice on Sesame Street has put together 15 fun tracks (in addition to instrumental versions of each) of traditional endearing songs like "When You're Happy and You Know It," "When the Saints," and "Hokey Pokey" to name a few. It encourages lots of participation and love ensues. Bob's accessible endearing tenor and likability drives the bus but the destination is a safe and magical place. After listening to it, you simply want to listen to it again and again and again. The added instrumental tracks are a plus. I think that Bob McGrath is a positive pied piper who is so endearing and respected and trusted, like Mister Rogers. Thank you for inadvertently assuming the mantle, Bob. This CD keeps traditional children's songs alive in a fun and entertaining way. I like the overall quality of the content/production and I applaud the effort to keep traditional children's music alive and well. Reviewed by John Wood.
Bright new versions of 15 favorite children's songs with first class musicianship and vocals. Bob encourages children to join the fun with him and sing without him as each song is repeated with an instrumental-only track.
