The soundtrack of my childhood!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Little White Duck And Other (Audio CD)
I almost cried when I found this CD. I never thought it would be available after all these years. I had the LP as a child and my brothers and sister and I listened to it constantly. It was THE soundtrack of my childhood. Even as adults, we'd sometimes comment about this song or that song. It made such an impact on our growing up years. So when, just on a lark, I did a search for it and actually found it I was ecstatic! I've now had the opportunity to not just tell my kids about these songs, but to let them experience them for themselves. And they love them today just as much as we did 30 years ago. And I think what I like most about it is that it is just a man singing. And unlike so many other kids albums, it is not high pitched and sugary, like so many adults do when they talk to kids. He just uses his regular, beautiful voice to talk and sing, this time through songs kids (and adults) love over and over and over again. Theses are timeless. THIS IS A MUST HAVE CD!

A Wonderful Children's CD - A Must For Your Collection,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Little White Duck And Other (Audio CD)
We absolutely LOVE this CD. We received it last week, and my 22 month daughter requests it regularly. But the best part is that I don't mind listening to it over and over!Beginning with The Little White Duck, this CD is chock-full of peppy child-appropriate songs. We already have A Twinkle in Your Eye, but that is more a folk CD. It has some of the same songs as Little White Duck (Froggy-Went-A-Courtin and Little Engine That Could), but also includes songs about dying cowboys and wife-beaters. A good CD, but not a child's CD. But The Little White Duck is just about perfect! Burl has such a fantastic singing voice, and he seems to enjoy these children's songs without singing down to the kids. My daughter is already picking out some words to the songs, so I know she's paying attention! And her mom (me) is enjoying old favorites (Froggie and Little White Duck) while finding new ones (I can't get enough of Fooba Wooba John)! There isn't a single song on this CD that I don't like. I have had a few misses while trying to find music for my daughter that doesn't drive me absolutely batty, but Little White Duck is a home-run! 16 of 17 people found the following review helpful

One of the greatest childrens albums of all time,
By Bradley Olson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Little White Duck And Other (Audio CD)
"Little White Duck" is a compilation that was first released on LP on CBS's Harmony budget imprint in the 1950's, recorded in the 1940's and features some of the greatest childrens songs about animals including the title track, Froggie Went a Courtin', The Grey Goose and Two Little Owls plus tracks about other topics that kids are interested in such as "The Little Engine That Could," a medley of Mother Goose songs, and "Fooba Wooba John." Quite a few of the tracks do have Burl telling stories behind the songs as well. The artwork on this CD is the same as the 1974 LP reissue of the album, not the original Harmony album pressing, and uses "rechanneled" sources for all the songs so while this CD isn't exactly "audiophile" quality as quite a few of the songs do have surface noise, it serves the purpose of a great childrens album in Burl Ives fashion. It is a great album to learn nursery rhymes as well, just like another reviewer said, so if you come across this CD or LP anywhere, please pick it up and enjoy. Even older people can enjoy this album as well as children.
