  • A few outstanding songs that our 3-year old daughter requests constantly.
    author: Raktak Inc.

    While there are over 30 songs on the CD, there are 4 or 5 that truly stand out; "Mashed Pototoes" and the song about the Frog are inspired. Because the arrangements and instrumentals are generally minimalist, the music is soothing because of its repetition -- so if that meets your musical needs then this is a fine CD.

  • We love it.
    author: Lori H.

    My 6 year old daughter loves the CD, and wants to use it for lullabies at bedtime. We will have to get more of this artist's CD's.

  • Mash potatoe song real catchy tune daughter loves it.
    author: Georgann Litvaitis

    CD came in record time to my home with no problems. Daughter loves the Mash Potatoe song. Took the CD to show and tell at Nursery school and every child sang the song. And wanted to hear it over and over again. Katherine Dines is a great singer song writer with real catchy tunes.

  • great, i got it because it had flea fly on it,
    author: hik -ta- bunk -ta

  • Exactly what I was looking for - my 2/3 class are involved in an African focusse
    author: Regina thompson

    Great scope in the contents for using with young kids and middle school classes. We are going to perform some with instruments. I had looked everywhere for something appropriate for my class and then fell over this on the net and i am delighted with my purchase
