Wee Sing America Book

Great for family sing-alongs, this is so much fun! PS U must b able 2 read music!

This was listed as an audio CD and the picture showed a blister pack with a book and CD. I only got the book. I am upset.

Be very careful buying this item. The description says audio CD but we did not receive the CD only the book. Would give the seller no stars if I could.

Wonderful songs and lyrics which celebrate our country's heritage. Do not purchase if you wish to obscure the Christian foundations of our nation's government and common life. Voices of children, sometimes gently accompanied by an adult. Instrumentation very appropriate to each piece. Well done. Five stars because no improvement can be imagined by me.

I grew up on this tape (it was still a tape back then, when we got it in about 1990). Every car trip, I jammed to the 50 states song and "Sweet Betsy from Pike." I loved these songs, and I still do, but when I learned them back at age 4, I didn't realize how often they would help me in the future. I can remember more than one time where one of the lyrics, or a blurb of one of the historic speeches scattered throughout the tape, helped me on an important test. These are songs that kids should know, and they will have fun listening to them.

Yes, indeed we do! I was 8 yrs old, when my parents came home from a trip to Florida, and brought with them a bunch of WeeSing-tapes - and me and my 2 younger sisters totally loved them. I learned a LOT of English from those tapes, and since I love to sing I enjoyed listening and sing-along to those tapes all the time. I still love them... and that's the reason why I'm buying my own copy of WeeSing America! The songs are so full of pride, so full of history, love and freedom! They tell so much about the pioneers, the American way of life - everything. I can't wait to get my own copy, and I will play it over and over - and dream back of my year as an exchange student in Minnesota. WeeSing has become a natural part of my life - I just love those books and tapes!! (But this time I'll by the songs on CD, so it will last longer...)To all you others - buy this item!!!

Recently my seventeen year old son asked me to find his Wee Sing America tape that he had as a child. He is taking AP US History and wanted to listen to some of the songs again. He told me how he appreciated having that music in his past and commented on how most children no longer knew the songs. Since I could not find the tape, I am currently buying the CD for my 4 month old son. It doesn't get better than that folks!

Approx 60 min cassette. Side 1 contains pioneer songs from the early settlers and immigrant workers as they worked to build the nation. Side 2 covers the patriotic anthems, marches and music. Majority are sung by children. Accompanying book contains words and music to help you all learn. It also includes a short expalnation on the background to the song.
