That Baby “A Mothertalk Music Review”
Filed in: parenting, Book Reviews
I was recently asked to review a fun new cd/dvd set called, “That Baby”. It is a collection of toned down popular favorites that translate well into the gentle early childhood vibe. I have found that there are two main schools of thought when it comes to kid music: one is hate and one is toleration. Very few people want to listen to Row Row Row Your Boat and Do You Know the Muffin Man ad nauseum, as small children may prefer.
This is where this cd comes in. Artist Stephanie Schneiderman has done covers of many favorite songs such as:
Happiness Runs/Circle Game
Pony Boy
Get Together
Garden Song
Anything is Possible
Songbird
I Will
Both parent and child could easily enjoy this music, so for a parent who is a little stuck on finding songs that work well for everyone, this cd could be a great tool. I have always put together my own playlists for my kids that are a combination of folk, children’s, rock, and other genres, careful to select music that is uplifting to all listeners. My kids love the “That Baby” cd and were very excited to see something come into the house just for them. However, my son still prefers his favorite song Cecelia by Simon and Garfunkle. Old habits die hard.
