We started listening to this album when my child was very young. I was so happy to have found it. The quality of the selection of songs was so great! I gave as gifts many CD's of "A Child's Celebration of Song" for friends with young children. The music is folk, fun and easy to listen to. My family listened to this album for years, we all did, over and over and over again. If you are concerned about a single "bad" word in one otherwise hilarious song--just think, it is an opportunity to teach your child what you think of that language--which by the way, can be heard anywhere you go. We have never had trouble with our child taking on that sort of language as a result of hearing it in a song--or at a restaurant. I recommend this album highly.
