I was just over at The BlogFrog a couple of weeks ago asking for recommendations for children’s music. Several CDs were mentioned to me by other BlogFroggers and I honestly haven’t checked them out. Why? I got a great new CD in the mail to review. It is called Words That Rhyme with Orange by Ross King. I have become a huge Ross King fan.
JDaniel and I have been dancing to it in the house and taking it with us in the car when we run errands. The CD contains are a variety of styles of music. All of the songs are upbeat and contain wonderful lyrics. Okay, there is one song about nose picking that I tend to skip when I play the CD. The message of the song is Don’t Do It, but JDaniel already does it.
Here are a few I really love. The first song Happy to Be Me encourages children to be happy being themselves and they don’t have to be anyone but themselves. There is also a cool rap about Juice Boxes. A wonderful love song about how you are loved More than anything in the world even all the sand in the desert. Two others I really like are the Learning the Alphabet song (It has a great beat.) and The Sound of Whining. JDaniel has been whining more lately. When I sing this song along with the CD, I can sing to my son about not whining over and over again. There are two mellow sleepy time songs at the end of the CD that is good for winding down at the end of a day.
This would be a great CD to add to any child’s music library. Be warned the songs will run through your head during the day and your feet will start tapping.
