Maurice Sendak's Really Rosie Audio : Starring the Nutshell Kids

Summary: A TIMELESS CLASSIC for young and old alike
Review: This is bar none the best children's sing along soundtrack around. I first enjoyed this as a child in the seventies, then purchased it for my class of pre-schoolers in the nineties who loved singing along and learning their ABC's and seasons with tunes like Chicken Soup With Rice and Aligators All Around. Now in the 21st Century, I've bought both the video and the cd for my young daughter and she is sure to grow up loving the tunes. It's amazing how I recalled every word of songs like Pierre and One Was Johnny after so many years! Ms. King's voice lends itself perfectly to the sweet melodies of this soundtrack, and adults will love singing along as each song tells a story about Rosie and her bunch of friends and the lessons they learn. I recommend also buying the video if you can find it, and sharing this one with all the kids in your life. This one stayed with me from childhood to adulthood.

Summary: I used to love this album
Review: This was my absolute *favorite* album when I was in elementary school. (I'm 18 now). It's a wonderful bunch of songs for little kids, funny and catchy and about being your own person and having imagination and all kinds of good things like that.
I seem to have lost/broken/misplaced/lent my tape at some point, because I haven't seen it in years, and I'm thinking of buying it again. ::muses:: We'll see :)

Summary: Best Album of 1975
Review: What happens when Carole King gets together with Maurice Sendack? Pure fun and magic! The cartoon is a gem, but the music really brings out the kids of Avenue P. "One Was Johnny" "Chicken Soup" "Screamin & Yellin" are all treats but the real classic here is "Avenue P." Though never originally included in the cartoon (the last half of the album isn't), teh song paints a picture of a little girl's longing and dreams while being trapped in a small town. I also have to give a special shout to "Awful Truth" where Rosie envisions herself married to Dracula and dining on rats and mush made of bats! Makes no sense, nor does ending the song with dogs barking but you gotta love it!

Summary: Fabulous Childhood Memories
Review: When I was a kid I had this album. I found it again on cassette probably 15 years ago now. It's finally available on CD and I can't wait to get my hands on it. The music is perfect for kids but mature enough that adults enjoy it too. I can listen to these songs over and over again and I still love it.
