Summary: Family campfire songs from early pioneers and their songs
Review: Approx 60 min cassette. Side 1 contains pioneer songs from the early settlers and immigrant workers as they worked to build the nation. Side 2 covers the patriotic anthems, marches and music. Majority are sung by children. Accompanying book contains words and music to help you all learn. It also includes a short expalnation on the background to the song.

Summary: Wee Sing America
Review: 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.

Summary: Wee Sing America
Review: Recently my seventeen year old son asked me to find his Wee Sing America tape that he had as a child. He is taking AP US History and wanted to listen to some of the songs again. He told me how he appreciated having that music in his past and commented on how most children no longer knew the songs. Since I could not find the tape, I am currently buying the CD for my 4 month old son. It doesn't get better than that folks!

Summary: Inspirational...A Pure Delight For Children of All Ages
Review: 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

Summary: "We love the USA..."
Review: 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!!!
