1	Baby Beluga (1980) more music like this by Raffi From probably the world's most popular whale, this record is a delight. For ages three to eight. Bob Hinkle, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.24! new only from $13.71!
2	The Very Best of Peter, Paul & Mary [Warner/Rhino] (2005) more music like this by Peter, Paul & Mary It speaks well for the continued viability of their catalog (probably second only to Bob Dylan's among '60s folk artists) that this is only the sixth compilation ever done on Peter, Paul & Mary's music in four decades of musical activity -- and since one of the others was a Readers' Digest mail-order release and two of the others were done for ... see all copies from $16.65! new only from $16.65!
3	You Are My Little Bird (2006) more music like this by Elizabeth Mitchell Most commercial children's music seems to be made under the assumption that youngsters are incapable of appreciating subtlety and need to be aurally slapped about the face with melodic and lyrical repetition in order to make sense of what they're hearing. Elizabeth Mitchell is an educator and musician who thankfully knows better; as the lead ... see all copies from $11.05! new only from $11.05!
4	The Singable Songs Collection (1997) more music like this by Raffi This three-disc set reissued by Rounder Records in 1997 takes children's singer Raffi's first three (and arguably best) albums, Singable Songs for the Very Young, More Singable Songs, and The Corner Grocery Store and More Singable Songs, and packages them all together. The Singable Songs Collections goes through all types of songs -- from ... see all copies from $23.19! new only from $23.19!
5	Singable Songs for the Very Young (1976) more music like this by Raffi This is the one that started it all, still one of the most popular recordings for children. For ages four to ten. Bob Hinkle, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.79! new only from $8.85!
6	Where the Sidewalk Ends (1976) more music like this by Shel Silverstein If the Shel Silverstein book Where the Sidewalk Ends isn't already in every child's hands, it should be; it's as poignant and whimsical as the day it was written. The album version is another matter. Silverstein already had plenty of experience in the recording studio, and his musical delivery of his poems is certainly unique. He sounds a little ... see all copies from $4.54! new only from $11.06!
7	Not for Kids Only (1993) more music like this by Jerry Garcia/David Grisman The second full-length collaborative effort between Jerry Garcia (guitar/vocals) and David Grisman (mandolin, mando-cello, tenor banjo, vocals) is arguably their most endearing as well. Just as its title suggests, Not for Kids Only (1993) is an album of folkie standards and traditional tunes that is -- as Grisman so eloquently depicts in his liner ... see all copies from $14.00! new only from $15.98!
8	Peter, Paul & Mommy, Too (1993) more music like this by Peter, Paul & Mary ...Peter, Paul And Mary continue their folk music magic for children. The album was recorded before a live audience of children and their families and feature the trio's renowned harmonies on such folk classics as "Puff the Magic Dragon," "We Shall Overcome," and "The Fox." MusD, All Music Guide see all copies from $4.79! new only from $14.22!
9	One Light One Sun (1985) more music like this by Raffi Raffi turns more to his own originals on this, his best collection, but also turns in excellent versions of traditional songs such as "Apples and Bananas" and claims some nominally adult songs such as "Octopus's Garden" for the children's market. For ages 4-9. William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide see all copies from $6.88! new only from $13.71!
10	The Essential Pete Seeger [Sony] (2005) more music like this by Pete Seeger Pete Seeger is the sort of person who has become the stuff of legend for all the best reasons. As a musicologist, he's been a passionate archivist of folk songs of all sorts from around the world for most of his life, and thousands of people (perhaps millions) would not have heard songs such as "Goodnight Irene," "This Land Is Your Land" and ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.00!
11	House Party (2003) more music like this by Dan Zanes & Friends Former Del Fuegos frontman Dan Zanes is one of the few artists making children's music that appeals to both kids and their parents. House Party is his fourth kids' record and it shows no drop-off in energy or imagination. He and his band create lighthearted, easily rocking tunes with mostly acoustic instruments. Zanes has a great voice for kids' ... see all copies from $11.55! new only from $11.55!
12 view cover	Green Gorilla, Monster & Me (2005) more music like this by Ralph's World The fifth album from Ralph's World, Green Gorilla, Monster & Me, is every bit as fresh and fun as their first. Green Gorilla is delightfully all-over-the-place, spanning the activity song "Dance Around" as well as odes to "Monster," a far-from-monstrous terrier, and the hippest place on the playground, "Swingset." The album explores many different ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $11.31!
13 view cover	Family Dance (2002) more music like this by Dan Zanes & Friends see all copies from $8.71! new only from $15.13!
14 view cover	Quiet Time (2006) more music like this by Raffi see all copies from $8.45! new only from $13.71!
15 view cover	Catch That Train! (2006) more music like this by Dan Zanes & Friends see all copies from $15.06! new only from $15.06!
16 view cover	You Are My Flower (1999) more music like this by Ida Ostensibly a children's album, You Are My Flower is as warm and engaging as any of Ida's more "mature" works -- a collection of traditional folk and country tunes culled from the songbooks of the Carter Family, Leadbelly, and others, this sweet, lovely set is family-friendly in the truest sense, appealing to young listeners while never so cutesy ... see all copies from $12.76! new only from $12.76!
17 view cover	Rise and Shine (1982) more music like this by Raffi Apparently this is to be Raffi's last recording mostly for children. He's since turned his attention to the environment and somewhat away from children's recordings. This is a fine album. For ages three to eight. Bob Hinkle, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.99! new only from $13.71!
18 view cover	Rocket Ship Beach (2001) more music like this by Dan Zanes + Friends Rocket Ship Beach introduced Dan Zanes' special brand of children's music, which mixes well-known songs for kids, standards, and traditional country and folk songs with a hand-crafted sound and plenty of affection for both the music and its intended audience. The "friends" who help Zanes with Rocket Ship Beach include Sheryl Crow, whose duet with ... see all copies from $15.09! new only from $15.09!
19 view cover	Birds, Beasts, Bugs and Fishes (Little & Big) (1998) more music like this by Pete Seeger Previously available on two separate 1955 Folkways LPs (Birds, Beasts, Bugs and Little Fishes and Birds, Beasts, Bugs and Bigger Fishes), this CD combines both of these children's records onto one disc, complete lyrics included in the accompanying booklet. As the titles make plain, the songs were devoted to animals of all sorts; Birds, Beasts, ... see all copies from $11.24! new only from $15.28!
20 view cover	We Shall Overcome: The Complete Carnegie Hall Concert (1989) more music like this by Pete Seeger We Shall Overcome: The Complete Carnegie Hall Concert shows that Pete Seeger was at his apex as a performer and as an influential figure in the surging folk movement when John Hammond turned on the Columbia Records tape machine to capture this performance. Out flowed stories, traditional songs, covers of songs by new songwriters like Bob Dylan, ... see all copies from $3.16! new only from $17.76!
21 view cover	Big Trouble (1991) more music like this by Trout Fishing in America Trout Fishing in America's first children's album, Big Trouble contains both whimsical original material "I Think I'll Need a Bandaid," "Day Care Blues") and covers ("What I Want Is a Proper Cup of Coffee," "Teddy Bear's Picnic"). Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide see all copies from $7.68!
22 view cover	Bananaphone (1994) more music like this by Raffi see all copies from $7.22! new only from $13.71!
23 view cover	Childern's Music Collection (1998) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $5.70! new only from $5.70!
24 view cover	Night Time (2002) more music like this by Dan Zanes & Friends Dan Zanes has certainly come a long way from those sepia-toned days in the '80s, when he fronted boozy alternative rockers the Del Fuegos. The new millennium found him trying to reconcile the seemingly disparate strands of family life (as a devoted father) and his artistic ambitions. He solved the conundrum by recording "family-friendly" albums in ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $14.97!
25 view cover	Corner Grocery Store and Other Singable Songs (1979) more music like this by Raffi Raffi is something of an heir to the children's music of such folkies as Pete Seeger and the Babysitters. In Corner Grocery Store and Other Singable Songs, he is especially interested in adapting some familiar folksongs -- "Pick a Bale o' Cotton," "Goodnight Irene" -- as children's songs, along with such traditional material as "Frère Jacques." ... see all copies from $12.95! new only from $13.71!
