A Few CDs Kids AND Parents will Love

I loathe bad children's music. Car rides can be absolutely excruciating with the wrong music. Luckily, I have found a few CDs that are completely bearable for my kids and the adults in the car. Check them out, add some more suggestions and let me know what you think.


Kim Scanlon's "Night Songs and Lullabies" on Amazon

Night Songs & Lullabies Night Songs & Lullabies
Price: $9.99
List Price: $17.98

"Night Songs and Lullabies" by Kim Scanlon is a great CD for napping and quiet babies in the backseat. Our newborn loves it and will stop crying promptly when we put on the second track, Hit the Road to Dreamland. We have traveled a lot recently and it has really made our trips a lot easier. Her other album "Humabyes" is also wonderful, but there are no lyrics.


"Songs I Heard" by Harry Connick, Jr.

Songs I Heard Songs I Heard
Price: $3.88
List Price: $7.99

Harry Connick, Jr.'s CD, "Songs I Heard", is a great upbeat album. You will probably recognize almost all of the songs. There are songs from The Wizard of Oz, Mary Poppins, The Sound of Music, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Annie.


Smithsonian Institute Children's Music for Sale on Amazon

Smithsonian Folkways Children's Music Collection Smithsonian Folkways Children's Music Collection
Price: $8.30
List Price: $11.98
The Smithsonian Institute put out this great American folk music CD. Artists like Woodie Guthrie, Ella Jenkins, Pete Seeger, and Alan Mills are featured. It's a wonderful upbeat album with a variety of children's songs from Mexico, India, Africa, Israel, and France. Old favorites like Miss Mary Mack and Skip to My Lou and new songs like Riding in the Car and Animal Alphabet Song will get you and your child singing.
