Over the past four decades, Ella Jenkins has made herself legendary among music educators by recording her own preschool music classes. This album, originally issued in 1982, is a very informal musical game session with a class of three- and four-year-olds.

The first half of the disc is completely instrumental, meant as a purely listening session, but could also serve as karaoke-style backup music for sing-alongs. In the second half, Jenkins begins a tune-guessing game by playing a few bars of the melody for the kids to guess before they start singing the words. Always careful to keep the children involved, she sometimes gives away the more difficult lyrics a few beats early and also directs some simple movements to accompany the songs (great for antsy back-seaters).

Other notable highlights include funny clucking noises in "Pop Goes the Weasel" and some stellar kazoo playing in "This Old Man."
