Product Description
From Amazon.com
Baby Beluga is a fun-filled collection of favorite children's songs and Raffi originals, all performed in the singer's folksy, expressive style. Beluga begins with the sounds of whales communicating in their high-pitch squeaks (which presented here come across as cute and sweet) and features melodic lines that evoke vivid pictures of gentle waves and a frolicking whale. An illustrated sing-along book that is published separately is a nice companion to this first track, giving young listeners visual images of the song's narrative. The rest of this varied album blends traditional songs like "Oats and Beans and Barley" and "This Old Man" with four original pieces by Raffi, including the instrumental "Water Dance." Liner notes have the complete lyrics, a description and history of beluga whales, and explanations of Raffi's inspiration and ties to each song. This is an excellent album with catchy tunes that's sure to become a household favorite. --Tami Horiuchi

This (and our other Raffi tape) is the ONLY children's tape that I do not tire of listening to over and over again in the car - you know how it is....... My 3 and 5 year olds anticipate each song. An absolute delight!

I have three young children and so have listened to a fair number of children's tapes. Baby Beluga is without doubt the best children's album I have ever heard! Extremely enjoyable both for children and parents alike!

Raffi is a favourite in our household, but the Baby Beluga CD is the one that ranks highest on our list, if the number of times listened to is anything to go by! Not only do my three year old twins love listening to this selection of old favourites and Raffi originals over and over again, but I do too. Even my son, who normally doesn't like singing along, can't resist joining in with the title track, and his sister was overheard singing the chorus from Morningtown after only hearing it once. I can never resist playing Joshua Giraffe more than once when we are driving along as it is so catchy and puts us all in good spirits. However, Raffi is good at making us think too, so it's not just fun it is educational as well. Highly recommended for the whole family!

more than 15 years later and they still remember the words
my sister-in-law sent us this (as a tape) from Canada and it was an instant favourite - my almost 21 year old heard it today and it brought back such funny memories
