 Disappointing at best. Aug 04, 2009
I hate to be odd man out, but I was very disappointed in this CD. I am not a preschool or kindergarten teacher, but we are homeschooling our children. I bought this CD for the days of the week and month songs to help my four-year-old learn those. I am sure Dr. Jean is a wonderful person, but this CD is just a plunky keyboard and a woman singing (occasionally some children). At best I can say the woman can carry a tune; at worst I could guess she's never had any vocal training. She borrowed standard tunes and changed perfectly fun lyrics to much more dull lyrics. I am a huge believer in the material being fun for the teacher as well as the kids - this just doesn't cut it in our situation. My kids listened to it all the way through once, but they have not asked to listen to it again as they do our other music. We are going to use the songs for which I purchased the CD to see if they do help with memorization of months and days of the week because those kinds of songs are very difficult to find; but I think we'll pass on the rest. For the same amount of money as one of Dr. Jean's CDs I can buy almost three CDs of singing vegetables who have fabulous musical talent and accompaniments. Sure the vegetable voices get annoying the ninth or tenth time in a row, but until then the lyrics are clever and fun. Now if I could just convince the vegetables to sing songs about the days of the week, months in the year, presidents, states...

Great Cd Oct 01, 2008
This CD is great for kindergarten and first grade students. I use most of the songs every morning during calendar time. My kids beg me to play the silly songs again during snack time and parties. Some of the songs get them a little silly, but they are definitley learning because of it! I would tell any teacher of the younger grades to buy this!

A great Dr. Jean Mar 07, 2008
I'm a preschool teacher. My children in class learned the Days of the Week from Dr. Jean. Monkey and Alligator, we made puppets to go along with it, delighted the children. Mother Gooney Bird is so easy to learn,
they sing it alot to their parents. Tooty T is a big hit, not only is it a
hit with the children, it is an ice breaker at my parent meetings. It relaxes the parents so they laugh and talk with each other. Today is Sunday is another song the children request, it is a day of the week also and the children pick it up right away....the other songs are fantastic and you wont go wrong with buying this CD...Five Stars!!!!
