Customer Rating:      Summary: A really fun CD Comment: This CD has the feel of a 12 year old going to visit their grandmother in the islands and hearing all of the stories and songs that go with it. It's so full of love, fun and knowledge, it just feels like a big musical hug. A warning, there is a lot of talking on the disc as "Mother B" explains the upcoming song, but that's actually the fun of it. There's lots of info on the CD, giving the child a nice image of island life, while also giving a mello combo of calypso and reggae music. Overall, the music is wonderfully warm and enjoyable while hearing Cedella Marley tell island tales completes the package.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Still a Favorite 6 Years after first purchase! Comment: I first purchased this cassette as a Young Teacher working in Early Childhood Education. The Music for Little People's Series has never failed me, and I love reggae. Many years later, this is still a favorite of mine, and now my daughter's (almost 2)and of My Center's ( 111 children at a NAEYC accreditated facility!) I have tested it on Hundreds of children ages 6 weeks through 6 Years and always seen swaying happy children enjoying the music. You can't go wrong with this one!
Customer Rating:      Summary: True spirit of early childhood music education Comment: The tracks are so well that I never thought that it was really the CD that I ordered,because I ordered it with the Love and trust that I have on the Artist herself not that I heared it play before and its really the right taste for my kid, she is turning 12months on the 19/02/99.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Good rythym, melody and authenticity. Comment: I bought this CD because I want my 16month old child to have an awareness and appreciation for the folk songs of the caribbean. This CD is a good start. Our favorite tracks are Tingalaya, Chi Chi Buddo, Elena, Sweet Guava Jelly, Banana Boat and Brown Girl In The Ring. I would recommend this CD for it's rythym, melody, authenticity and lack of pretense.
