I would like this to be a practical review, because I almost don't buy this CD, since there is not much info about it and the tracks are not detailed, but it's oh so worth it!**First four tracks are the books in English (Brown Bear, Polar Bear, Panda Bear, and Baby Bear)**Tracks 5-8 are all four books in Spanish (It doesn't state whose voice it is, but she sounds like a native speaker, the lady is actually funnier than Gwyneth!)**Track 9 is Bill Martin Jr. himself reading "Brown Bear" (I didn't like it, but it's interesting)**Tracks 10 and 11 are interviews with Eric Carle.So, I hope this helps! and, don't hesitate, go ahead and buy it! Think about it, you can look at the book you have, and hear the audio in Spanish, it's a great learning tool.
I am very disappointed in this cd because i think the reader and director missed the point of these wonderful books by bill martin jr. My own children, my students, and i have always loved the rhythm and pattern in the texts. On the cd, the books are read like prose, without the joyful musical quality that makes them so fun, inviting the listener to join in. I gave the rating of 2 instead of 1 because Paltrow's voice is warm and loving.
This is a huge disappointment. Our daughter loves this book and can have it read to her over and over. However, this CD does not do that. If you have ever read these books, you would know that there is a timing that is almost song like. In fact, you can sing a song related to these books. None of the readings on this CD do that. I wonder if the people who have given this a five star review actually remember that this book is supposed to be for children...and as such so should this CD be made with children in mind. Clearly, this was made for adults and not children.
This is a great memory tool. My daughter and I read the Brown Bear book so much that she's memorized all of it. We can always play this in the car and she can repeat the narration and imagine the illustrations. If you have every book at home that's a plus, but not necessary. I've not tried it yet, but maybe, instead of a lullaby CD, it can be used as a way to put your child to sleep.
Truly I find this CD painful to listen to. It is slow and without any rhythm. Gwyneth Paltrow sounds like she just learned to read and there is no inflection.
Research has shown that reading to infants, regardless of how small, can help with brain development. On a typical day, the only time I have to read to my 5 month old son is right before bedtime. Therefore, to get more reading in, I purchased these CDs and we listen to them anytime we're in the car - to/from daycare, riding around town, on the way to visit Grandma & Grandpa! He enjoys it and I feel like he's learning more than when we just listen to the radio! I look forward to purchasing more children's books on CD.
My young grandaughter was mesmerized by the songs and words. A great gift for young children.
My 2 year old loves listening to this CD! She is a big Eric Carle/ Bill Martin Jr fan, carrying the books around with her constantly! This CD is a pleasure to listen to, and it is great for when I am occupied and cannot read to her.
