Lacking Lyrics July 16, 2006
So many people have brought up the mary jane in one of the songs, that I just thought I'd mention -- not all of the songs on this CD even HAVE lyrics. The first two, for example, are instrumentals.
 Oh my! Dirty song! Dirty song! October 15, 2004

They say "marijuana" on here! That's all you need to know! These people are obviously terrorists! They're murderous drug fiends! They want to destroy America! Run! Hide!
Hey but at least the cockroach isn't shaking her fake boobies and thrusting her pierced belly button in your face, eh?
But anyhow, never ever share your marijuana with a baby. They are total bogarts.
 Drug name is being mentioned in one of the lyrics August 6, 2004

The quality of the music is good. However, there are several mistakes in the origin of some songs. For instance, Guantanamera is from Cuba, not from Spain. The Brazilian song (Es Para Ti) is not from Brazil. But the worst thing is the version of that popular Mexican song, 'La Cucaracha'.
The lyrics are saying the following:
La cucaracha, la cucaracha,
ya no puede caminar,
porque le falta, porque no tiene
marihuana pa' fumar.
The English translation for that would be:
The cockroach, the cockroach
can no longer walk
because she doesn't have
marijuana to smoke.
Do you mothers honestly think that this is the kind of vocabulary we'd like our kids to learn, and dance to?
I don't think that's precisely the vocabulary that we'd like young kids and babies to learn. And it's sad that companies are selling products that are not being reviewed before sending them to the market. People that doesn't have the ability of understanding foreign languages cannot understand what's being said in the song. I bought the CD for a friend's of mine's little boy. My friend doesn't speak Spanish, but she was still able to understand that marijuana was being mentioned. As I do speak Spanish as first language, she asked me to confirm her what she thought she understood. I felt very embarrased when I found out that she was right.
It's a shame. I'd not recommend anyone to buy these CD, at least not for kids.
leave la cucaracha out June 22, 2004

I am a mother of two and an early childhood educator so I listen to a lot of children's music. I gave this CD a rating of four stars because though it has wonderful beats on it and seems to be diverse i feel the company should have left "la Cucaracha" from MEXICO out of this cd or changed the words to be more child appropriate. There is a verse in this song that repeats various times that references smoking marijuana. My children are both bilingual in english/spanish and think "the wiggles" version of this song is funny. I feel as if the song promotes drug use and is not a positive value that i would like to instill in my child or others.
 A wonderful CD for your nursery! May 6, 2002

As a first time parent I want to give my child every advantage I can. Studies have shown that playing music to your child helps to enhance their learning ability.I saw "Baby's First" cd series and as they were so affordable I decided to go ahead and buy them without hearing them first. My decision has been rewarded! The cd's are very good, and provide hours of music to stimulate my babies mind. Buy this CD today, you won't be disappointed, and neither will your youngsters! :)
