They've always talked about their fond memories of the songs and our family singing these songs together. We all love hearing our littles singing these songs even when we aren't playing the music!!"
"Great songs for kids to sing along to and without knowing it they are learning great life lessons."
"I highly recommend Teaching Peace by Red Grammer!"
"When you purchase a CD, do you ever expect that EVERY SINGLE SONG will be great? People have told me that "my kids" were still singing "Teaching Peace" (along with the ASL signs) at lunch together in high school."
"We listened to this as kids and now my daughters love it too.... barnyard boogie is the favorite."
"Much better in my opinion than listening to "old macdonald" or "itsy bitsy spider" over and over (not that they don't enjoy adult music too, but they love the simplicity of kids tunes)."
"I bought this collection as a cassette tape 30 years ago for my children. While some songs have been updated (I miss Baby Beluga!)."
"I have to admit too that since having children, I have found it hard to relate to popular music on the radio, but with Red Grammar's Teaching. Peace, I feel like I've found something that resonates with me too."

"This was a huge favorite of our family when my kids were little, and niw it is a favorite for the grandkids."
"This has been a family favorite for 20 years!"
"When I was a kid, my younger brother and I would go to our local library and check out the LP of this album to take home."
"This album is just as hilarious as an adult as it was when I was a kid - can't wait to play it for my niece & nephew!"
"A childhood favorite ... and still a favorite!"
"Horses Run Around: Sample lyrics - "While peeking through the knothole (woo hoo) in grandpa's wooden leg, somebody built the shore too near the ocean..." Such a funny song! Turkey in the Straw (sung by goofy): A classic favorite with disney friends... 5. Waddlin' Crazy Guy: my least favorite song - no real silly business, just homage to Donald. Daddy's Whiskers: a funny song about a man with really long facial hair!! "They had vacuum cleaner hoses comin' out of their noses, and nothing where their mouths should be -WOO- they got itty bitty feet, and I don't know what they eat, but one of them is eying me..." SO WONDERFUL! If you have long car trips with KIDS, this is a wonderful addition to your collection - hard to find, harder to miss!"

That's why there will be no more CDs with Shaun and Karla but still I hope there's another CD with Underwater Discovery, T.E.A.M., Action Hero and Making Music."
"My kids love, love, love, this CD."
"If I have to listen to kids music over and over again, I'd much rather listen to this CD with my son than "I'm a Little Teapot!""
"I highly recommend this album to Hi-5 fans and any other parent who would like to introduce their young children to pop tunes in a wholesome and entertaining way."
"My son loves this CD - it has all the popular songs from the TV show Hi-5."
"My daughter loves this CD and sings all the songs...she listens to it at home and in the car...and sure...I love the songs too :)."
"My son LOVED this cd....wore it out!"
"Do not buy this CD if you think you will see lyrics on a Karaoke machine...the only lyrics available are on the insert to the CD."

"We played this tape every night as our young children fell asleep."
"Having said that, the appeal of this CD and other CDs by J. Aaron Brown (like "Rock-A-Bye Collection Vol 2 and "A Child's Gift of Lullabyes")for me is not only that the songs are peaceful and beautiful, truly worthwhile music, but that it's music that moms and dads find appealing, too, so much so that listening to the songs is enjoyable for the parents, too, while they snuggle with their precious gifts from heaven."
"Well low and behold little sister came along last year on May 15th and I looked frantically for my cassette and couldn't find it. !, now little sister will be lulled to sleep when she comes over to grandma's house just like her big brother did a long time ago. in the mail, and had the family over for supper one Sunday afternoon, I started the c.d."
"There are five songs on the CD with each song having a vocal and an instrumental version (10 tracks on CD). And, Amazon's price for this CD is much better than if you purchase the CD elsewhere (at least it has been each time I have purchased it)."
"Had the cassette when I was little and was enthused to find the CD for my son (since our cassette player is wearing out)."
"My children ages 9 and 5, beg me to sing these precious songs at bedtime. 10/5/09 Update: Almost 5 years later and my 4 youngest children continue to enjoy this CD."
"Like many here,my wife got this tape as a gift in a baby shower.We opened it up and the music was unreal! My son is now 21 and can remember every word on that tape!"

"It's great for being able to read Latin and understand it immediately without translating."
"All of the chapters of volume 1 of Orberg's Lingua Latina are recorded here with the Ecclesiastical pronunciation. I recommend you read the chapter, do the exercises, then re-read the chapter, and keep re-reading it until you can read it at the speed of English, without looking up any words. This is Ecclesiastical Latin pronunciation, not classical! They've done a great service to those of us who are trying to move from Latin translation to Latin fluency."
"As a homeschooler I wanted them to have a chance to try something different (they were getting burned out) and this series seemed a wonderful opportunity to have some fun and see their previous studies bear fruit in the pleasure of reading real stories. I went back on-line to order myself a book (I had realized I wanted a text, too) and was surprised to see that there was a new addition to Amazon's set: "Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata Pars I: Familia Romana Latine Audio: Ecclesiastical Pronounciation" in MP3 format."
"This sounds like a recording of students in a college latin class or spoken latin club."
"To learn to speak Ecclesiastical Latin one must hear it spoken and this CD provides an excellent means used in conjunction with the Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata Pars I. I highly recommend it."
"This is a review only of the audio samples here on this page."
"Really great audio that makes study time that much easier."

"This lullaby cd was my children's favorite."
"I bought this for one pregnant friend and now the daughter she bore uses the same tape (I think it was a tape) for her baby!"
"When my niece (now 21) was little, her grandparents, parents, & I had copies of this DVD (cassette tape back then) in all our houses & cars, so it was played anywhere she napped or slept -- for years."
"My daughter grew up listening to these songs and now it is the album she falls asleep to every night and she is four and has quite the selection on the ipod."
"This music rocked my children to sleep 25 years ago, now passing them on to my grandchildren and grand-nieces/nephews."
"My grandbabies love the sweet music!"
"On being satisfied by the research performed on this collection, I decided to take a plunge and bought the mp3 version here and downloaded onto an Ipod with a Dock. Tanya Goodman has a special god-given voice that will immerse you in a sea of melody. My wife usually sings the songs while sitting on a rocking chair with our baby on her arm, while Tanya Goodman's voice/magic fills the bedroom. Tanya Goodman's voice and the lyrics will be enjoyed by all irrespective of age, gender and religion."
