I generally prefer listening to boisterous children's songs, but it's also nice to have a variety of tunes on hand when you're building a good children's music playlist and this album has really grown on me.

Elizabeth Mitchell's clear, pure voice reminds me a bit of Sheryl Crow.  In addition to several newer tunes, Elizabeth brings a fresh sound to many of the classic folk selections that have been around forever.

My favorite song is Little Bird, Little Bird.  I have copies of this song by many different artists, but this soothing version is definitely my favorite.

before heading outside to hunt for some new feathered friends.  Be sure to bring this mellow CD along with you - it's perfect for a quiet day full of bird-watching.

Are you looking for children's songs that will be calming for your kids, but are a little livelier than lullabies?  Then this is the perfect album for you - mellow tunes that you can quietly sing along with during more peaceful activities.  I'd love to hear what you think - leave a comment or email me at lisahealy (at) outlook (dot) com.
