As the title implies, this is an excellent choice for anyone interested in folk music for children. Those who have heard these masterful artists before will enjoy the familiar voices as well as the fresh interpretations of great old songs. Folk music novices will get an inspiring survey of the best the folk world has to offer kids.

Anchoring the collection are songs by folk giants Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, two artists who led the folk music revolution over fifty years ago. Other legends include Doc Watson, the bluegrass guitar hero with an endearing baritone, and the soulful a cappella group Sweet Honey In The Rock. Buckwheat Zydeco's smoking Cajun rendition of the "Crawfish Song" is a standout.

The album does include a Raffi song, but most of the artists are established adult entertainers who have recorded great albums for kids, as well.
