The Very Best of the Wombles

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Childrens Music
by: Wombles

October 03, 2005
I've little to add to the excellent reviews already given for this album. This is a super cd, full of fun brilliantly composed happy songs that will not fail to make you or your little ones smile, or giggle hysterically as you dance around the living room with them. I've yet to find a childrens album that tops it.

The House at Pooh Corner (BBC Radio Collection)

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Childrens Music
by: A.A. Milne

I was not a fan of Winnie the Pooh. I found it hard to disassociate it from the horrible Disneyfication, but when a long car journey loomed, this was the only CD available and ploughing through fog and heavy rain, it amused not only the children, but me as well. Alan Bennett is great and repeated listens are not as irritating as expected. I'd wholeheartedly recommend it.

Sleepytime Lullabies: A Mix of Traditional and Modern Cradle Songs Specifically Designed to put Babies and Infants to Sleep

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Childrens Music
by: Nicola Kerr

I couldn't help getting my hopes up when I read all the rave reviews, that my six month old might find this CD so soperific he'd not wake me up so much in the night, but instead he listens for a bit then rolls over and smiles - 'no I'm not going to sleep mum'. However I like it so I don't feel too hard done by. It can be useful to time how long I'm feeding him for (ie I'll stop at the end of this song etc). Mind you Skye Boat Song is completely stuck in my head - could be worse!

Andersen's Fairy Tales: The Ugly Duckling, The Emperor's New Clothes, etc. (Children's Classics)

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Childrens Music
by: H.C. Andersen

September 01, 1994
Two stories are truly gruesome and VERY violent. Not prince overthrowing dragon in woods to save princess, gruesome and violent. I mean creeping envy, revenge and sadistic murder of an elderly lady and a young boy (amongst other things)!

DEFINITELY NOT for all children by any means. Just had to add this review so more critical (discerning?) parents could be warned if needed.

The remaining stories are great. However, The Little Match Girl is very, very sad! But, so true to how some children today must struggle while those with far more than they need walk by. A deeply poignant tale.

We were very disappointed BUT only with the two rotten ones. I've recorded the fabulous ones and chucked the discs away. Erica Johns ... Read More:

There could have been more songs from the muppets take manhattan on the cd. Apart from that the cd was very good. It is a pity that the muppets take manhattan soundtrack is only available on vinyl.

Bob the Builder - the Album

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Childrens Music
by: Bob The Builder

January 08, 2007

My 2 year old daughter loves this CD.

She requests it when we get in the car, well I say request - she keeps going on about having "Bob on"! Every time a track finishes she says "more Bob"!.

The first two tracks are the two which were released as singles a few years ago, and they did quite well with the first one being a Christmas number 1 if I remember correctly.

She has a few kids music CDs, and to be honest, this is the best one. She has a Disney one but the sound seems tinny and quiet, whereas it is crystal clear on the Bob the Builder album. You don't wince when you know this CD is going to go on as it doesn't take itself seriously, and most of the tracks are well performed. I must admit though that I ... Read More:
