For the money, this CD is definitely a good buy - mainly because it helps you to remember scores of tunes from your own childhood. If like me, you just want to be reminded of songs so you can sing them yourself to your baby, then it's perfect for giving you ideas. I agree it is a bit annoying that some of the songs are cut short after a verse or two - but I'd still rather have the choice than the usual set of 10 or 12 nursery rhymes that I already know. On the whole, the arrangements aren't too irritating as well.
