Whatever happened to just simple arrangements and singing of "classic nursery rhymes"? That's what I thought I was buying with this cd but it's not that at all. I agree with the person who said the exaggerated British accents and and other vocal and musical gymnastics make it hard for a toddler to understand. My one year old son is very smart and he laughs and claps along to his Pete Seeger cd about animals, but I don't think he'd get what was going on in these Susie Tallman songs until he was 5 years old. Which is why he doesn't really respond to the music; it's just noise. I have to sing along in my own style in order for him to get any enjoyment out of this cd and the other Tallman cd's I bought. I too purchased Tallman based on all the positive reviews; I wish that even if people were fans of her music they'd have given a more detailed and balanced viewpoint.
