Product Description: Raffi celebrates childhood with the moving One Light, One Sun, the silly Apples and Bananas and De Colors - a beautiful ballad en Espanola. Includes printed lyrics.
Amazon.com essential recording: Whether they're hearing old favorites like "Down on Grandpa's Farm," "Take Me Out to the Ballgame," and "Twinkle, Twinkle" or the spunky calypso of "Tingalayo" and the vowel-twisting "Apples and Bananas," kids will find plenty to sing about on this classic Raffi album. The French children's lullaby "Fais Do Do" and the traditional Spanish "De Colores" will further spark little listeners' interests in the sounds of other languages. If you're looking for musical fun on a rainy day or good kid tunes for the car, One Light One Sun would be an excellent addition to your child's music library. --Deborah Moore

Raffi is a timeless children's classic. That's all- Raffi is a timeless children's classic. Easy to sing along to, easy to listen to!
Grew up listening to this on record! I haven't listened to this record in many many years but as I listened to the clips of the songs, I still remember the words. This album is GREAT!!! So fun to sing along to, your kids will love it.
Great CD for entire family We love Raffi. This CD is just great. We like every song. If you are a Raffi fan, there is no need for me to go on. If you are not familiar with Raffi, this is a good CD. Baby Beluga is another keeper along with Songs for the Very Young. The Raffi Christmas Album is wonderful. The song Old Toy Trains, must be my favorite al l time Christmas song.
Excellent Children's Music, First Song to Last This is a wonderful collection of children's music. I use this CD with children in the first grade. We sing and have fun. The songs have a great melody. All the songs are wonderful.
What's even more important is that the messages are appropriate and good for children. I tried to talk our music teacher into singing "Like Me and You" for our school program, but I had no luck. I think it's a very special song for children, and Raffi is very special. Maybe next year.
