 nice, but not everything I expected May 28, 2009
REE (State College, PA)
I didn't realize that the nursery rhymes came in a story with a narrator talking much of the time. I'm not a huge fan of listening to the story parts. I wish it had the option to just listen to the nursery rhymes. The lullabies are on the second half of the cd. I put it in iTunes and made a playlist of just the lullabies so I can put it on repeat and not hear the narrator.
 Nursery Songs April 19, 2009
M. Clark (Atlanta, GA)
I did not remember a lot of the songs so I ordered the book & CD. The CD puts the song into a story which is a cute idea and is fun.
The Fun Rymes for Parrots April 10, 2009
Sandra J. Calmez (Elizabeth, CO USA)
I turn the DVD on for my MACAWS and say the Ryhmes along with them. Several years ago I had an injury couldn't remember the ryhmes I use to sing to them. Finally got smart put took awhile to find a little book where it had all the ones i wanted and the DVD really made a nice plus because I didn't know some of the tunes. it arrive in only several days.
Great Product September 6, 2007
Brenda Blake (Merriam, KS USA)
I'm really glad I purchased the Wee Sing Nursery Rhymes. It even comes with sheet music! It seems that every song I learned in school is included, plus many more. Now I can pass this on to my son and daughter! Shipping was prompt, which is a bonus!
Off we go to London Town! July 6, 2007

My Mom and I used to quote that every time we would go on a trip. This is easily one of the best Wee Sing tapes, now available on CD. My cousin recently had her 2nd baby and I bought it for him. And since my Mom had the NERVE to sell our original copy of this one in a garage sale, I just HAD to download it to my iPod before wrapping it.
The nursery rhyme part of it, is also set to a story of Georgie Peorgie, Jack and Jill, and Mary going to King Cole's Birthday party, and on the way meeting other Mother Goose Characters.
Here are some interesting facts and trivia on some of the nursery rhymes and lullabies.
THERE WAS A LITTLE GIRL. Originallly titled "JEMIMA," was written SURPRISE! SURPRISE! by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow about his daughter about a time that she misbehaved. Everyone knows the first verse. But there are two other verses that are almost never anthologized.
One day she went upstairs while her parents unawares.
Sitting below were at their meals.
She stood upon her head on her little trundle bed,
and then began hurraying with her heals.
Her Mama heard the noise and thought it was the boys
A playing at a combat in the attic.
But when she climbed the stair and saw Jemima there
She took and she did Spank her most emphatic!
LUCY LOCKET If you own this product, you'll remember that the poem is sung to the tune of Yankee Doodle. What you may not know is that Lucy Lockett is the main tune and that the yankees got the melody for Yankee Doodle from Lucy Lockett.
GOOD NIGHT TO YOU ALL Isn't really a lullaby, but it was a round dating back to the 19th century often sung by quartets in hotels and such as a finale.
EARLY TO BED Was written, believe it or not by Benjamin Franklin. And was used as a way to get children to go to bed on time.
SWEETLY SLEEP Is a parody of a Czech Christmas carol called "ROCKING," which you will find on "Wee Sing for Christmas." Either song gets me in a Christmas mood no matter what time of the year it is.
All in all, this is a first rate recording and perfect for the young and the young at heart. So if you or anyone you know is about to have a baby, go ahead and buy it. You certainly won't go wrong.
