"The reviewers are right! Even I purposely turn on these CDs to hear MY personal favorites! My kids (5 and 7) coincidentally started to ask about different genres of music after we started listening to these. (We were basically a classical and/or rock and roll household.) They're also trying to name the instruments they hear... I think these CDs, because of their diversity, made them more fully realize the broad realms of music...
I HIGHLY recommend. Hard to sit still when you're listening to these. I love just turning them on and watching my kids magically appear to start dancing away in the family room..."
