Music for toddlers and parents?


AS my daughter reached 20 months, she gets actively interested not only in switching my McIntosh-amps, but in listening to music, too. As the mother does rarely allow my former Mahler to ZZ Top-regime - what decent music is there that small children like, but will not let me want to hang myself, too?

My wife and I found these kids cds enjoyable for us as well:

Chic Street Man -- Lullablues
Lionel Jean Baptiste -- Ice Cream Songs
Joe Reilly -- Children of the Earth
Los Lobos with Lalo Guerrero -- Papa's Dream

Sweet Honey in the Rock has some great songs I used when I taught Kindergarten.

The dvd and album "Free to Be You and Me" by Marlo Thomas is also great with positive messages.

Lastly, a friend who's a Maurice Sendak fan (author/illustrator of Where the Wild Things Are) has his animated vhs "Really Rosie" with music by Carole King. I believe they just released the music on cd.

But some of the best music is anything that moves your toddler to ask you to dance around the living room with her.
