A year or two back, my Mother in law gave us a CD called PARTY LIKE A PRESCHOOLER. I will admit that I probably cringed a little bit. I have a notorious dislike for “kiddy” music and after a few songs of most kids CD’s I am done. They just great on my nerves and I can only handle so much. So it’s no surprise that this CD went unlistened to for quite a while. Why would I want to torture myself with another annoying playlist of songs? But one day, someone must have found the CD and we put it in…and to my amazement, I LOVED it.
PARTY LIKE A PRESCHOOLER is a great mix of kids songs with really funky tunes that the kids LOVE and us parents love. I will admit to even putting it on when the kids were not around. The kids favorite song, the JAMMIE SONG (click to listen to a clip), is played — and danced to — on a very regular basis. I also really like FIVE LITTLE MONKEYS and IF YOU’RE HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT.
So if you are like me, and want kids music that your litle ones love but won’t drive you to the brink of insanity, this CD gets my vote. You can buy it HERE, HERE, or HERE as an MP3 Download. It is also available on iTunes.
How fun to find this post here. I was just reading the Go Fish Guys blog and saw them link to your review. Funny to see two sites I love for very different reasons intersect.
I bought multiple copies of the CD and it is my standby gift when have a birthday party to attend.
The GFG are great!
I saw GoFish perform one time. They are a fun group. My kids love them. I will have to check on iTunes and see if new music has been released. We have a road trip coming up and will need fresh tunes.
Our favorite album by GoFish is Snazzy. They really are fun to listen to.
Hey, I saw these guys in person at a MOPS convention a few years ago. It was awesome! They also just came out with a VBS curriculum, which a local church did this summer. I hear it was wonderful!
I really like the Laurie Berkner Band, too. She plays on Noggin (I think) during Jack’s Big Music show. I’m off to listen to your suggestion! Thanks!
What a neat CD! I was looking for something like this for friends of ours, their kids are at the age where they are loving music, and she suggested we could get them a kids’ CD for Christmas … so thanks for the great suggestion, my first Christmas present is now bought!
What fun! I’m downloading this for my grandson.
Cool! I’m going to have to check it out. I’m with you on the kid’s music – ugh! However, our whole family has fallen in love with Elizabeth Mitchell’s “You Are My Sunshine” album. It’s folky and soft and doesn’t dumb down the quality of the music for the kids.

And, “Snacktime” by the Barenaked Ladies is also oue upbeat, fun fave. Some of the songs are HILARIOUS and well sung and played. My favourites are “7 8 9″ and the “Crazy ABCs”.
