Peter, Paul And Mommy
Peter, Paul and Mary
(List: $11.97/Amazon Price: $11.49)
There is a reason why Peter, Paul and Mary still sell CDs and tour. Listen to "Marvelous Toy" or "Puff the Magic Dragon" and you'll see why. Beautiful voices, tunes and lyrics - truly something for all ages. My husband (who is a REAL music buff) claims that "this is one of the best kids' CDs ever"!
A Child's Celebration Of SongThis is a CD that everyone will enjoy: an incredibly varied collection of 15 familiar songs recorded by the original artists, such as Jelly Man Kelly (James Taylor), Over the Rainbow (Judy Garland), Baby Beluga (Raffi), Wynken, Blynken and Nod (Doobie Bros.), House at Pooh Corner (Loggins & Messina), and Polly Wolly Doodle (Burl Ives and the Ray Charles Singers). The array of sounds and singers is truly amazing! Buy it today

$12.98/Amazon Price: $10.99)
This is a wonderful collection of songs that address issues of concerns for young kids: blankies, mommies leaving (and coming back) etc. The tape shows real children in real situations to the accompaniment of these cheery songs. Everything is so well done that even adults can sit through several viewings. My nine year old son recently told me that this was one of his toddler favs! Buy it today

A Bug's Life (1998
)
(List: $26.99/Amazon Price: $17.99)
This movie is destined to be a 90's classic:
one ant's fight for individuality and the hand (leg?) of his
beloved princess. The fight scene with the crickets is something else as
is the amazing insect circus! A film that both parents and kids love and for totally different
reasons. Buy it today

& Other Stories (List: $12.99/Amazon Price: $10.99)
The Jungle Book (1967)
(List: $26.99/Amazon Price: $18.89)
This is one of the best Disney animations and so
often overlooked! The story line is less saccharine than the newer ones,
the music more jazzy and the animals much "hipper". If you
haven't seen it, make the effort. Buy it today
Babe
(1995)(List: $14.98/Amazon Price: $12.99)
What can you say bad about a kindly pig who saves
the day? Kids love this flick for the story and adults enjoy watching a
film with animals who speak so much better than Mr. Ed. (How did they do that??)
