Title: Simple and sweet
Product review: Richard Scarry's Best Learning Songs video brings together catchy songs, both familiar ("Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" for instance) and new. Huckle and the gang are putting on a variety show for family and friends which highlights all the things they know. (This implication that a kid can be an expert on a lot of subjects is a nice confidence-booster.) The material is illustrated and sung in a very clear way. A song about shapes has the viewer identifying circles, squares and triangles in Busytown storefronts, and then those shapes are isolated and outlined so your child can see a direct correspondence between objects and geometric shapes. All the songs are done in a similarly clear manner without a lot of overload. The children's voices are robust and refreshingly non-professional. Well, I guess they must be professionals or they wouldn't be on this video--but none of them sound like they're auditioning for "Annie."
