Review on PayPlayFM
Really bought this for one song but ended up buying 6 album downloads as they are so well done, sound like folk songs. I like listening so car rides won't be so hard! - ★★★★★
Review on Amazon.co.uk
The tracks here are delivered with an enthusiasm that only a professional misanthrope could fail to smile at, and the saccharine blandness of so many other children's nursery rhyme albums is thankfully missing. - ★★★★☆

The girl that sings most of these songs has got a beautiful voice - when she sings "All The Pretty Little Horses" it really makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. - ★★★★★

CD: $9.99
IT WORKS! It helps calm down my son when he is having a tantrum, and soothes him to sleep at bedtime. And me too, if truth be told - this is a very relaxing CD, and we have enjoyed some fantastic mother and baby chill-out time together. What more could any mother want? - ★★★★★
Review on Amazon.co.uk
These instrumental songs are really good if you are looking for something soothing with no voice. My baby reacts really well to all these melodies and putting him to sleep became easier. I would definitely recommend this to anyone! - ★★★★★

Vol. 2: Nursery Rhyme Time20 Super Cool Nursery Rhymes And Children's SongsMP3: $8.00
We played this album and Volume 1 at my daughter's birthday party, and the kids had such a good time dancing to it that they asked us to put them both on again. Both albums are excellent, but this is the better of the two. It follows the same basic pattern as Volume 1 - i.e. it starts with a fast song and ends with a lullaby, with plenty of light and darkness in between - but the whole thing hangs together better, and there are no spoken tracks. This is definitely an album that will be played over and over again. - ★★★★★

A Sailor Went To Sea
All Instruments and Spoken Voice: Douglas Milne, Lead Vocals: Helen Raw
From the TwinkleTrax album "Vol. 1: A Sailor Went To Sea - 20 Favourite Nursery Rhymes and Kid's Songs"
Download this mp3 here:
A sailor went to sea, sea, sea
To see what he could see, see, see
But all that he could see, see, see
Was the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea
This Scottish sea shanty, probably dating from the late nineteenth century, has adapted over time into a children's clapping game.
- The verse is sung through.
- Then the verse is sung again, this time replacing each instance of the word "Sea" with a handclap.
- The verse is sung through a third time, this time replacing each instance of the word "See" and the word "Sea" with a handclap.
- The verse is sung again, with all the words back in again.
