Carole King is [still] wonderful - for both adults & children
Listening to the great songs on "Tapestry," a favorite when it was released, remains a wonderful experience. Planning for a car trip with one set of grandchildren, a 7-year old boy and a 4-year old girl, I purchased this collection of 3 CDs - The Collection: Really Rosie/Music/Tapestry. I'd forgotten how well I know these songs and how much I love them. "Music," the second Carole King album, is less familiar, contains arrangements that sound a bit jazzier, and is unexpectedly lovely. Most important, our grandchildren LOVE the songs on "Really Rosie. " Like their parents at a similar age, they especially like listening to the songs while reading the 4 small Nutshell Library books Nutshell Library (Caldecott Collection) that illustrate 4 of the songs. So successful is this music-book combination that I have purchased a second set of CDs and books for another set of out-of-state grandchldren, who also love it. (Our grandchildren are all 7 and younger. ) On car trips we play each of the 4 songs illustrated in the Nutshell Library collection twice so that each child may take a turn reading and listening. "Alligators All Around" has become "our" song. On one sunny morning at a deserted playground, my grandchildren - one on the swings, the other on top of the slide - and I sang through the entire song at the top of our lungs, giggling when we couldn't remember the words & making up our own. The assembled family has spent hilarious moments rewriting the lyrics to suit our family vacation experiences: "A: Asking for Apple-dippers. . . . C: Climbing Cliffs. . . . " I'm at work on a vacation photobook that matches photos with the alphabet captions. .


Classic Carole King!
I wanted to replace my copy of "Music" and hadn't ever owned "Really Rosie", so this was an affordable option. You can't go wrong with Carole King. Keep in mind, this CD set is not a compilation, but individual copies of each CD packaged together. It is more affordable than purchasing all the CD's individually. It's a great way to share wonderful music with everyone in the family!.
