All-Star Rating ***
Superior recording of a lovely voice with a lot of range. Folk songs have lots of heritage, texture and history. Imminently listenable and sing-along-able. Perfect for music programs in Scouts, schools or churches ­ or family singing in the car.

Great for singing along! My three children (ages 7,5, and 3)and I love this CD! The songs are so much fun to sing along with. We always have it on in the car. Kathy has such a soothing quality to her voice, and the tunes are so "catchy" that you just can't help but sing

"You can almost smell those marshmallows on the stick. Byers’ charm and mellifluous voice lead us down the trail and round the campfire for some timeless sing-along"

Loved the cannibal song and wanted to play it over and over, dancing and laughing. Liked songs with kids' voices. "Good variety." Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land" was a big hit. "It's very patriotic." "I like the African beat of Kumbaya."

SUCH A FUN CD!! The whimsical songs in Kathy's new CD will bring back parent's fond memories of campfires and s'mores, and will create warm memories for their kids. Kathy's voice and sing-along melodies make this CD a keeper for years to come.

Great new Folk sound Kids and their Parents will enjoy.

Upbeat, appealing folk songs brimming with heart, whimsy and spirit that children ages 3-8 years will especially enjoy. This CD has a warm, gentle sound that also delights and soothe sressed parents, like me! There's a great mix of vocals and instrumentals on tracks like Beaches and Whistle, Clap with an infectious beat that your kids will want to listen to again and again. If you enjoy the music of Joanie Bartels or Judy Collins, you should enjoy Kathy Byers' CD too.

From boo boo's to beaches to bedtime, these ten original songs (9 vocal and 1 instrumental) gently celebrate the everyday experiences of childhood. Hand-clapping rhythms, clever repetitions, and moderate tempos make it easy for preschoolers to sing along with-or even learn- their favorite cuts. Lead singer Kathy Byers' pleasantly pitched voice is bell-clear and nicely backed by unpretentious instrumentals and, occasionally, appropriate sound effects.

Good production with lyrics that work well. Fun songs that lend themselves to creative movement. Integrates themes such as brushing teeth, fear of darkness and the sounds of nature.

She truly envelops her young audiences with songs extremely sensitive to the lives of children and music most pleasant for adults to hear.
