29 Little Bo Peep

Rock Me Baby Records continues to prove its dedication to children with its third album, Classic Nursery Rhymes. 2–6 year olds will sing, clap, and dance along to the 37 tracks on this album. Singable, upbeat, rhythmic, harmonious, sometimes silly, always beautiful, Susie Tallman and friends show us all that we love about nursery rhymes.


Parents will enjoy hearing favorites such as Itsy Bitsy Spider and Baa Baa Black Sheep. Children will delight in four year-old Maudie Farnan's rendition of I'm a Little Teapot, a rap version of Hickory Dickory Dock, and Tallman's lyrical singing on Lavender's Blue. Using diverse voices, instruments, and arrangements, each song is comfortably familiar yet surprisingly unique.


"My 4-year-old listens to this fun CD every afternoon," says Kate Everett Thorp, a San Francisco mother and chairman of an Interactive PR agency. "It's fun for me too! We listen and laugh and sing the songs together."


"I'm thrilled about the international and original tone of Classic Nursery Rhymes," said Tallman. "Our enthusiasm about this third album comes through on every track, and this excitement, along with the quality of voices, provides a wonderful, musical way for parents to teach their children these poems and songs."
