Family Fare
author: Vicki Therien
Excellent CD! I have now purchased three of these CD's. One for each of my children when they were born (now ages 16 years, 15years, and 20 months old). It is a must have CD. We listen to it everyday, and it never grows old. I also use the music CD in my preschool classroom (I am a teacher at the University of Massachussetts). The children love it. I have been lucky enough to have met and worked with Ellen Edson in my past teaching experiences and the CD is every bit as nice as listening to her sing in person.

Real music for your little ones
author: Valerie Rose
Tired of those banal, synthesized, & overproduced children's CDs? You and your little ones will love this CD from Ellen Edson. It features acoustic instruments played in toe-tapping Old-Time style by musicians clearly at home in their genre, topped by Ellen's sweet & laid-back vocals. My 2-year-old daughter requests "What Shall We Do With The Baby-O" on our car rides.
