2 out of 5 stars ok cd   January 10, 2007

This cd was ok. I would have appreciated a written guide of activities and ideas on using the tracks.


3 out of 5 stars The sing along song is OK   August 29, 2005

THere are so many songs on this CD. MY son only listens to the 1st one. As soon as its over, he wants to hear it again. He's 3 and not yet interested in the other ones.


2 out of 5 stars Not what i expected or hoped for   April 12, 2005

This CD is rather a disappointment. It starts off quietly with somewhat hushed voices that I hardly knew it had begun. I have gotten used to the vibrant and joyous toddler cds that this was a surprise and very disappointing considering how exciting the story can be. I like to read Going on a Bear Hunt in a happy exicted voice with little toddlers following along. This is not that story with any of the same excited enthusiasm. I'm sorry i bought this one without hearing any of the tracks first.


5 out of 5 stars Has something for all young children ages 2-5   January 15, 2005

I work with different age groups from 0-5years old. Kids as young as 1 year old enjoy the story telling portion of this cd. I do alot of handplays/body movements which the kids mimic as the story is playing. I use the cd alone and in conjunction with the book. Kids love it either way!
The first track is the lively descriptive tale and subsequent tracks are different "lessons" you can do with your kids/students if you like. I would recommend that the adult listen to those parts and introduce the lessons over time, don't overload a younger child's imagination with it. It's a great cd with charismatic voices and appropriate music that really brings to life a terrific children's book.



4 out of 5 stars OK for older child   September 14, 2004

This CD has a lot of word play, lovely vocabulary (just like the book) and lots of instructions to follow. It is very participatory.

In short, it's not a terrific toddler CD. It's simply too complicated. I think a toddler might enjoy the CD if you played it while looking at the book together. (I'm planning on getting the book to find out.) But, don't count on being able to pop it into your car's CD to entertain your two year old... unless he or she is already enamored with the story.

Get this for a child
- Who is old enough to follow somewhat abstract instructions. For example, the CD asks kids to "Move your hands to show what the following words might look like. Over. Under. Back. Up the stairs..."
- Who has enough attention span to enjoy an oral story on it's own right
- Or, who is already very familiar with the story and loves it!
