Product Description

From Amazon.com

In 1976 a young Toronto musician released a fun and lively record called Singable Songs for the Very Young. The artist was a fellow called Raffi, and in the liner notes he wrote at the time that "there are very few good children's records." True as that was in the '70s, Singable Songs became the No. 1 bestseller in its field and set the standard for today's greater volume of high-quality material. The Singable Songs Collection reissues the classic Singable Songs for the Very Young and its superlative successors, More Singable Songs and Corner Grocery Store, as a set. Raffi's exhilarating acoustic musicality and sense of humor shine brightly through. Single-digit-age kids and their parents will get a kick out of these silly, educational, and joyful songs, which range in subject matter and tone from shared peanut-butter sandwiches and instrumental ragtime to standards like "Goodnight, Irene." --Paige La Grone

We love this CD. I've bought so many rubbish childrens song cd's in the past. This one is fab. We love all the songs and the children particularly like Shake your sillies out, Sur le Pont d'Avingnon, a Peanut butter sandwich and the Zombis. There are a good range of instrumental sounds - lots have got a foot tapping cajun feel. Very listenable too, catchy, singalongable! This was made in 1976 - but honestly you would never know this - it is very contemporary and not dated one bit. Great value with the 3 CD's. Corner Grocery store is the favourite of all three - but they're all great.

I particularly like the mix of english and french used in the songs and the fact that there is a mix of the traditional nursery rhyme with some unusual ones ps the version of baa baa black sheep is fab - with moo moo brown cow and cluck cluck red hen.

If you are looking for a cd of children`s songs search no further. This 3 cd set has kept my whole family singing! The songs are catchy but not annoyingly so. The great thing is they don`t patronise the little ones. We usually listen to them at bathtime and if we fancy a change we have 3cds to choose from. Particularly favourites are Anansi and Les Zombie on disc 3. So don`t think twice, get your children listening to this, you won`t regret it.

Super collection, never fails to put me in a happy mood... 22 Aug 2000
By bethlovesbooks - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This set includes three of Raffi's most popular records and is a great way to build a collection. These songs never seem to wear thin or become annoying like many other arrangements do. In fact, I know the recordings so well that I often catch myself singing the next song before it starts.

The song selection is quite diverse. Some of the songs have a positive message, like about brushing your teeth or sharing with others. Other songs celebrate the joyful experience of being a child, like "Shake My Sillie's Out," "I Wonder If I'm Growing," or "Bumping Up and Down." Then there are ones that are just plain fun like "Willoughby Wallaby Woo" or "Oh Me, Oh My." But Raffi also includes some classic folk songs, like "Swing Low Sweet Chariot," "I've Been Working on the Railroad," and "Goodnight Irene." There are very few "duds" on this collection; most are the type of song that will just pop into your head someday, and for no reason at all you will find yourself humming it.

My daughter loves these CD's and always breaks out in a wide smile after hearing the first few chords. Partially, I think she smiles because they always put me in a good mood too. Hey, you can't beat that!

Wonderful! A Special Treasure for the Very Young 17 Feb 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
These wonderful singable songs are children's classics. Every parent should own this collection. Raffi's music is silly and "just right" for little children. Adults will find themselves singing along too!

With this collection, you get three of the five "must have" Raffi CD's. This collection, in my opinion, is the finest children's music ever recorded. Start listening early (age one).

The first Raffi disc, Singable Songs for the Very Young, revolutionized the way artists approached children's music. It stands as a benchmark to compare all other children's recordings against, and other children's music grades very poorly compared to Raffi. Raffi is the Mr. Rogers of children's music, but funny.

Also buy his concert video (pure magic!) or his concert CD, which older kids love too. Our family loves Raffi, and so will you!

Wonderful Children's Music 23 Feb 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Our family loves Raffi, and we want to share him with you. His songs are really silly, great to sing along with, and never seem to get old - even for us adults. We have all his tapes in our car, and the children ask for him every time we are out. His songs are just right for little people; nothing else can compare. Our kids love his music so much! I am so grateful we discovered his music.

We have all three CD's in this collection and love them all. My favorite Raffi is still Singable Songs for the Very Young (with a Peanut Butter Sandwich), but all the discs in this collection are wonderful.

Our other all-time favorite Raffi's, if we had to narrow them down, are Raffi in Concert with the Rise and Shine Band (CD) and Raffi in Concert (a must-have video). But this set is definitely worth owning. There are a dozen of other great CD's from Raffi to choose from, too, and any of them will do nicely with a peanut butter sandwich.
