Book Reviews of Wee Sing America
Book Review: Excellent!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful way to teach children songs of the past! They are lively and fun as well as educational. Yes, some songs are shortened but it gives them a taste of what they like. It is our job as parents to dig deeper as our kids show intrest in different areas of history. This is a helpful tool not an exhaustive composition of every old song. As for the sexist comment of another reviewer...Oh dear, I just have to laugh! Do you not realize that the presidents WERE men who were quoted?? Did it occur to you that maybe the girls were not interested in quoting men? Why does there have to be some scheme against women? Good grief! Enjoy the music and try not to ruin it for your kids by making up political issues out of it. This is about making history fun, not politics of today. My 6, yes, 6 children love these songs....even the girls who NEVER even noticed a boy was saying a few quotes! For all of you other people who know how to teach your kids to enjoy history I highly recommend this lively, catchy CD. The Wee Sing folks have made another winner!!!Book Review: Family Treasure!

My grandma bought this as a cassette for my sister for her 6th birthday. We listened to that tape all the time all year round and on all our family trips. Since then we have grown up and moved a couple times. During the moves she lost the tape and the whole family has been sad. So for her 17th birthday this year I decided to look on amazon and there it was on cd. I bought it and she loves it! The whole family is listening to it together. It is great! The quotes and songs are so wonderful and uplifting and you can sing right along. This collection of patriotic songs should be in every American home!Book Review: Great way to learn patriotic songs!
Summary: 5 Stars
All the patriotic songs of old that I learned as a child are on here! I loved having the song book so that we can easily sing along with each song and even play on the piano. The famous quote inbetween each song has been an awesome learning tool. My kids have learned so much about history from the quotes and songs. After listening to the songs of the Confederate Army and of the Union Army, my kids (ages 7 and 10) were so interested in what the story between the two songs. Unlike a lot of the kids' CDs out there, I actually enjoy listening to the CD also.Book Review: I love this!

Summary: 5 Stars
I love this cd! I first heard it years ago when I was a student teacher in an elementary school. A different song from this cd (tape, back then!) was used as part of the morning announcements. When I became a teacher myself, I used the tape as part of my class morning routine, and in no time my students were singing along to the Star Spangled Banner and singing the names of all 50 United States. I love how kids are used to to sing the songs. The tape eventually gave up, and I somehow lost the second copy (a cd!) so I recently bought this book and cd set for my own children to listen to. Still as wonderful as ever, except this time I noticed they made some changes and added and removed some things to make it a little more politically correct. Just to clarify, I put off buying this for a while because this is listed as a book, but it's actually a book AND cd set, so the kids can sing along with the songs and learn the words rather quickly.
