We've worn out 2 of these CD's already!
My 6 year old listened to this every night for over a year...it is beautiful, soothing and comforting and there is nothing to jar a child who is falling asleep. I hear him humming to it after I shut his door, and then he just drops off to sleep. It's great, and I'm buying my third copy!

Beautiful, soothing bedtime music...
We received this as a gift and began playing it at night to soothe our fussy newborn. At first I never payed much attention to the lyrics, but I did notice and appreciate the very soothing melodies. One night whileholding our daughter in my arms I really started listening to the lyrics. Afew of them perfectly expressed the love I felt for my her. "Father'sLove" and "Little Boy Blue" brought tears to my eyes, theywere so beautiful. I know I'm a father now when I have "SwedishLullaby" running through my head all day! I'm not a fan of religiousmusic, but most of this CD is simply beautiful music and soothing melodies-- a big improvement over some children's music I've heard. I plan onasking for the first volume of this collection for Christmas. ... Read more

Great Music To Get Your Kids Moving
If you can tolerate Barney and want a CD to get your kids moving then this is a good bet.My three-year-old just loves Barney and out of all her Barney CDs, I prefer this one to the others.The songs are really upbeat and some of them do have catchy tunes.The music also has the ability to get my kids dancing all around the house and they even like it in the car and outside while they play. So if your kids like Barney or you're just looking for some good music to get them moving then this CD is a good choice. ... Read more

Great CD's for Baby!
I've given these CD's as gifts before but have never heard them until as a new Aunt we played them for my nephew.They are so soothing and easy to listen to.Great to play in the background for the baby to listen to or to help soothe a baby to sleep.They're very relaxing and soothing for Mom too!I highly recommend them as gifts or for your own baby! ...

Best Lullaby CD Ever
This is a lullaby CD that even grown ups will love.I listened to it in the car while commuting during my last months of pregnancy and then played it in the hospital right after my daughter was born.She loves this CD and so do I.When I have it playing in our house, visitors always comment on how beautiful it is.You can't go wrong with this one.

Take it from a doctor, "Hum-A-Byes" is an exceptioal product
As a physcian who delivers babies for a living and as a new father to a one week old baby girl, I have had the opportunity to try out "Hum-A-Byes".I have found it to be the most soothing music that not only relaxes my baby to a deep restfull sleep, but also relaxes my wife and I.I believe in this CD so much that everyone of my OB patients and their babies get a copy when they leave the hospital.We also play this CD in our hospital's newborn nursery.Wefind it to be very effective.

SLEEP AT LAST....
We were so delighted to find this unique and beautiful CD...we have a 4 month old, "colicky" baby girl and have spent hours pacing the floor with her....we found this CD and decided we had nothing to loose by trying it out...She LOVES the music..and now regularly sleeps to the lulling "Hum-a-Byes".Our thanks to the genius who composed this!!!! ...

Love it...
I'm not sure if I like this one more than my daughter or not.I highly recommend this out of all of the "Baby Genius" music product.It's very relaxing, and seems to do it's job.It's an excellant selection of music to soothe at all the right times.

A bedtime ritual
This CD has become a bedtime and naptime ritual for our son, age 3.We have had it for about one year and he requests it by name as a preference for helping him go to sleep.He has also become interested in this"Beethoven guy" and makes some associations between Beethoven,Bach and Mozart as being humans beings and guys who write music. As forincreasing his intelligence as suggested on the CD, well, who knows, but itis definitely an improvement over the "kiddie" music we firstintroduced and which he completely rejected.It is a very pleasant,well-engineered and performed recording. ...

Must have CD
I bought this cd for a friend many years ago. I am now having a baby of my own. This cd was a must have for my own child!!

Perfect CD for all my children.
I bought this CD 8 years ago when my daughter was born.She listened to it each night up until her brother was born in 2002.Now we're expecting to pass it on to their new sibling in Aug of 2005.Amazing how one CD can put 3 different children to sleep so peacefully!

For Our Children is much better
I was so disappointed with this CD I am writing my very first review for Amazon.The first CD in this "collection" is so fun and very charming.This one lacks on many levels. ... Read more

good lullabyes.....but playtimes songs just okay
I bought this 3 cd set mostly for the playtime music.Two of the cds are more mellow instrumentals and there is one cd that is composed of sing-along songs.The instrumentals are quite nice...but the sing-along songs are somewhat annoying.I have since purchased a cd of Sharon,Lois, and Bram and it is WAY better.If you're looking for variety, this might be an okay purchase...but you may find you won't listen to the playtime music cd much. ...

Not just for babies
I first heard this recording at a pre-school that I worked at. One of the teacher's used it at nap time for her class. I fell in love with it the first time I heard it and had to get it. I actually listened to it myself at bedtime. When I was assigned to a 4 year old class when their aide was out sick for a week, I took the CD with me and used it for their nap time. The teacher commented on how lovely it was. I left it in her class and forgot to take it when I left the school and moved away. I have wanted to order another copy ever since....and I just did! :)

Lovely, lovely, lovely
My little girl falls asleep to this CD every night.The songs and the voice are just so calming and sweet, I sometimes turn it up enough so that I can hear it as I go to bed, too.I would definitely recommend this CD to anyone, but especially those who love Broadway music and want to introduce their kids to musical theater in a gentle way.

I'm a musical theater/ singing mom ...
and as such am constantly singing songs to my newborn son. When I saw this CD, I thought, why not? Read more

Love it, Love it, Love it
The baby isn't even here yet, and my husband and I can't stop listening to this CD. If you like jazz music, it's awesome!

When does the next one come out?
I have both Jazz-a-Bye Lullabye Classics and Jazz-a-Bye Christmas.I love them, my god son loves them and my nephews love them!I heard rumor that they were releasing another CD in mid Jan. 2002.I can't wait!

Countdown Kids got replaced
This album is advertised as "Performed by The Countdown Kids" but it does not sound like the same kids that perform on "100 Songs for Kids" which is a much better compilation that I highly recommend. These singers sound like adults singing in falsetto or maybe The Countdown Kids just grew up. I much prefered the previous singers, bring them back. ... Read more

Perfect for Baby's Bedtime!
The beautiful marriage between guitar and violin gently lulls my baby to sleep.What a peaceful way to end the day!

"Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep" is very relaxing!
When I feel tense and need to relax, listening to "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep" acts as a wonderful tranquilizer. The soft touch of the violin with the gentle background of the guitar is a soothing combination.

YOUR 2 YEAR OLD WILL LOVE THIS!
Our 2-year old daughter Jessa always knows when we go for trips in our pick up trip.She loves "Old McDonald Had a Farm" and has made her own way of traveling in the pick up and calls going by by in our truck EIEI OH! Everytime we are going somewhere she starts saying this... and as soon as we get into the truck she pushes in the cassette tape of this.We have played it so much that the cassette finally broke and I am now ordering the CD and will make a cassette for the truck.A MUST HAVE FOR THE CAR!

Great, upbeat cd for toddlers!
