Free to Be You and Me

by: Marlo Thomas

Release Date May 09, 2006
Perfect for parents wary of the messages our kids are given through the popular music of today. My own kids are too old for nursary ryhmes & baby music, but I am not ready for all of the songs on the radio about girls trying to get boys attention. My 7 year old won't let me turn off the car until the 'Parents are people' song is over. Plus, I listened to this as a kid & I love it too. P.D.

Aria, Vol. 2: New Horizon

by: Paul Schwartz, Rebecca Luker, Steve Barton

Release Date August 10, 2004
I enjoy all of Rebecca Luker's albums, and this Aria series does not disappoint. It's soothing and relaxing, and her voice is, of course, lovely.

Thanks & Giving All Year Long (Companion CD)

by: Marlo Thomas & Friends

Release Date November 16, 2004
I bought this based on a review in Mothering magazine a few years ago, and it has been one of my four children's favorite CDs ever since. "I Want It" became our theme song one vacation as everyone sang it out loud over and over again at full blast in the car (my kids recognized themselves). We tend to skip over the stories, as it's the songs that are really catchy and singable. A teenage mother's helper I had one summer was astounded at all the "cool" people she recognized on the CD. A must buy for any family with young children!

Aria 2: New Horizon

from: Cafe del Mar

Release Date January 01, 1999
Be warned: Not for the real opera lover, however, this CD gets played more often than some of my operatic sets!
Easy listening and well conceived, the album is great from start to finish. Stand out tracks are Ebben and Addio, as well as a great Ave Maria
