Other than the inclusion of "All Things Bright And Beautiful" and the involvement of Kingsway Music who have licensed this, I'm not sure there's any particularly Christian angle to 'Hop Lttle Rabbits'. It's a selection of 11 well-known children's songs (and one reprise) including "Hickory Dickory Dock" and "The Wheels On The Bus". Produced by Lucy East and Julia Plaut (ah, wait a minute, Julia's a Christian), the album claims to be accessible to the youngest of children and to introduce them to a range of musical building blocks which will help them in language skills as well as in mathematics (through the beat of the songs) and pitch skills. No doubt the little listeners will enjoy the songs - as will the parents, according to the CD blurb - but apart from the use of classical instruments, which doesn't seem to add a great deal to the experience (and falls a long way short of John Rutter's classical choral arrangements of some children's songs, for example), there's nothing here that you wouldn't find on any other album of toddlers' songs.
