Reviewed by Martin Emerson

This album is a collection of children's songs with a few old favourites (a few very, very old) and many more recent. The songs are all very well arranged and produced, but with a simplicity that makes them far more friendly to sing along with than most children's albums I have heard. There are plenty of fun songs like "Splish, Splash", the very silly "Matilda The Gorilla" and "Shake A Friend's Paw" and also more serious songs like "Create In Me". You will also find Graham Kendrick's "Heaven Is In My Heart" which Wes skillfully blends with his own song "Jesus, You're The Joy". Eight out of the 18 tracks are songs by Mary Rice Hopkins, who though very popular in the US is sadly not presently distributed here. This is an excellent collection of children's songs beautifully arranged that will bless both children and parents.
