2010 Award
(Michele Valeri, Cathy & Marcy Songshop $12 Score:
) Michele Valeri's songs are just the right size for the infants and toddlers in your life. Not overproduced with too many words and too many instruments, this is scaled down with repetitive vocabulary and simple enough for tots. The tunes invite interactions between child and caregiver and lyrics. There is enough variation between songs (some of them done both in English and Spanish) and the rhythms to make them interesting to play and sing. 1 & up.
Age: Infants. Award Year: 2010.
2009 Award
(by David Kisor, Growing Sound $15.95 Score:
) There are some lullaby and quiet time songs along with interactive dance-about tunes. Together they make for a lively listening and doing experience that fit into the day of infants and toddlers. The CD opens with the title song, Beautiful Baby, Wonderful Child, sung with Kisor's original words put to Bach's Prelude in C and moves on to several other songs that one might call love songs from parent to child. Among the loveliest is a lullaby, A Blessing, played and sung to the haunting music of a Native American flute. About half the CD is dedicated to action songs that will get toddlers up on their tippy toes and turning round and round. Also charming is a little tune called I Keep Kiss in My Pocket, that just might make separations a little easier. At the end of the CD there is a reprise of three totally instrumental renditions of three of the quiet tunes introduced earlier. These three will be perfect for a bit of naptime music. http://shop.childreninc.org/beautiful-baby-wonderful-child.
