Real jazz for toddlers

This is one of a series which includes Louis the lion, Duck Ellington, Miles Crocodile and our favorite, Ella the Elephant. The CDs are marvelous but they don't always follow the book. No matter. All are worth a purchase. The talent is superior and fun, and the music is in no way watered down.

Daddy and Mommy Love Jazz!

We started off by purchasing the Cd known as "Baby Loves Jazz" and were thoroughly pleased by the performance of the musicians and the catchy tunes that caused my three children to dance about the living room. We recently purchased the Louis the Lion book w/CD...and as far as I can tell from my wifes and children reaction, it is also another 'out of the park homerun'. The book is a great product and very colorful...all of the songs are great too. One thing I would have liked is to have the songs work in conjunction with the pages of the book. But don't let that dissuade you from making the purchase with confidence of this book. You will have a romp roaring good time!

My baby loves it!

I bought this book+cd for my 8 month old baby and she loves it! I play it for her in the car and at home. She really likes the illustration in the book as well as it seems to hold her attention from start to finish. I think this is a hit with her and I intend to get the others books in this collection.

A hit!

This series is wonderful! Our two-year-old absolutely loves the Baby Loves Jazz series. We bought a few to start out, then ended up buying the whole set. Two months after acquiring them, she is still enamored and requests to listen to them and read them every day. Her favorites? Well, these are the words we hear most often: "Mommy, read Duck and Miles?" or "Daddy, listen to Duck and Miles?" Philly Joe is also high on the list. I recommend them all. The books stand out on their own, but the music is what makes this series really shine. For example, on Duck Ellington's CD, he does a great Monk style on one track, then switches to great impression of Coltrane's classic quartet on the next track, with a very nice McCoy Tyner impression. Lots of variety and high quality make this series worthwhile (though I could have done without Louis Lion's potty tune). Don't forget the Go Baby Go CD as well (a stand-alone CD without a book), which is perhaps a notch above the music on the book CDs. The ABC tune is her favorite on that one.

a wonderful book! and a great CD as well...

I bought this book for my ~2.5 year old daughter. We simply read the book first and didn't play the CD right away. The book in itself is really cute, and it soon became one of my daughters favorite bedtime books to pick out. It features Louis Lion who is a singer in a jazz band, and how he comes home after singing with his band to see his lion sons and put them to bed. It is nice in that it goes through (and enforces) things to do before going to bed... they brush their teeth, take a bath, put on their pajamas, etc. Then he sings them a lullaby, which features some nice imagery and great illustrations. When we first got this book, may daughter wanted me to read it three times in a row each night. We've had it for a few months, and she still loves to read it. The illustrations overall are really fun, colorful, and engaging. After loving this book so much, I went out and bought most of the rest of this series. I think this may be our favorite by far, though. We just started to play the CD, and played it when she was taking a bath. She loved it. CDs from the other books are not quite as fun as this one, and there is a fun bath-time song as well on this CD so it worked out well we played it during that time. Now, she always asks for me to play this CD when we go to take a bath and get ready for bed. Overall, I would highly recommend this book, especially to anyone with toddlers/preschoolers.
