notes
Winner of both an Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Award and a Parents Choice Award, here's an album of old and new folk songs for children and their families that will become a favorite for riding in the car, getting ready for bed, or anytime that's right for singing, dancing or listening together.
Ellen sweetly weaves American folk traditions into this lively collection included in many children's libraries and early childhood classrooms. A seasoned teacher, songwriter and performer, Ellen's style warms and engages kids and grown-ups alike with guitar, banjo, autoharp, mountain dulcimer and delightful harmonies.
"What a lovely recording! I'm going to recommend it to all my friend's with kids......" Jean Ritchie

Real music for your little ones
author: Valerie RoseTired 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.
