What's up with the price? January 29, 2009
Lisa Van Aken (Sacramento CA USA)
My children love the Wee Sing series, and have asked again for the America CD to replace our worn out cassette. The songs tell of the age when Americans were proud of being American. Songs we all used to learn in school so we had a shared history. But what's with the price of close to $40? It only costs $10, with free shipping to boot. I also don't understand why some of the listings don't note "booklet and CD" as they come as a set. This item is very deceiving.
Beautiful songs, rich in meaning and history October 25, 2005

Wonderful songs and lyrics which celebrate our country's heritage. Do not purchase if you wish to obscure the Christian foundations of our nation's government and common life. Voices of children, sometimes gently accompanied by an adult. Instrumentation very appropriate to each piece. Well done. Five stars because no improvement can be imagined by me.

I grew up on this tape (it was still a tape back then, when we got it in about 1990). Every car trip, I jammed to the 50 states song and "Sweet Betsy from Pike." I loved these songs, and I still do, but when I learned them back at age 4, I didn't realize how often they would help me in the future. I can remember more than one time where one of the lyrics, or a blurb of one of the historic speeches scattered throughout the tape, helped me on an important test. These are songs that kids should know, and they will have fun listening to them.

This CD and accompanying booklet contains the traditional patriotic songs we grew up with (sung mostly by children), as well as songs from the early pioneer and civil war eras (sung mostly by adults). There are also a few heart-stopping Negro spirituals which left my heart pounding! They were absolutely beautiful!!...terrific for rekindling the patriotic spirit in all of us. I would also consider this a wonderful educational tool for those who are studying American History. The quality of sound and performance is exceptional. I felt as if I were transported back in time as I listened to this collection with my children. This is sure to become a family heirloom.Four stars...it is rather long, and may be a bit tedious for the faint of heart! You have to appreciate this type of music to enjoy it. Blessings,
Cris

Yes, indeed we do! I was 8 yrs old, when my parents came home from a trip to Florida, and brought with them a bunch of WeeSing-tapes - and me and my 2 younger sisters totally loved them.
I learned a LOT of English from those tapes, and since I love to sing I enjoyed listening and sing-along to those tapes all the time. I still love them... and that's the reason why I'm buying my own copy of WeeSing America! The songs are so full of pride, so full of history, love and freedom! They tell so much about the pioneers, the American way of life - everything.
I can't wait to get my own copy, and I will play it over and over - and dream back of my year as an exchange student in Minnesota. WeeSing has become a natural part of my life - I just love those books and tapes!! (But this time I'll by the songs on CD, so it will last longer...)
To all you others - buy this item!!!
