Common Sense Review

Although some of these songs are over fifty years old, this collection sounds remarkably fresh. Where else can you meet Danny Kaye, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, and Sebastian the Crab in one place?

Despite all this mature talent, kid-favorite Raffi steals the show. Close your eyes and listen to his original composition "Bananaphone," and you'll swear he grasps an ebony cane and wears a Fred Astaire-style top hat and tails: He sounds that sprightly and debonair.

These are songs that just beg for a turn around the dance floor -- perfect for family play.
