The soft musical notes on this CD with 9 selections, punctuated with lovely baby sounds of gurgling and cooing, is pleasant. In “Melodic Questions and Answers” there is a nice progression of pace and beat, along with soft rattle sounds and gentle baby cooing. I found “First Time I Hear the Sea,” with the gentle lapping water, accompanied by harp and piano, to be most appealing. Along with the harp, piano and water sounds, baby was softly saying: “Mummy, da-da, and ba-ba”. “Baby Loves the Blues,” with its distinct beat of do-wop and singing, I felt was somewhat more focused on the purchaser than the baby. Overall though, this song was a good part of the CD. “Baby’s Toys Meet Melody” was interesting and would be familiar to the baby, because there are sounds of their first toys, accompanied with more gentle music patterns.
I can see this CD being played in a child’s nursery as the parent/care giver puts the child down for a nap, leaving these gentle, soothing, punctuated musical sounds in the room. This is a winner for baby and I give it 5 Doves!
