Provides the best of our two fave Raffi tapes, Baby Beluga and Singable Songs for the Very Young. I was afraid my son wouldn't like *seeing* Raffi after hearing him for so long -- maybe he had a different picture in his mind -- but he LOVES the video, and still loves the tapes we play in the car.

You won't be tempted to hide this one, or restrict repeat viewing. It's good for the kid, you can tell! They jump around, participate, learn the songs, and have fun. He's already learning to play guitar!

Also like Raffi in Concert with the Rise & Shine Band, but it's not quite as good as this one.

Wonderful! Precious for Children.Feb 23, 2000

Our family loves Raffi, and we want to share him with you. His songs are really silly, great to sing along with, and never seem to get old - even for us adults. We have all his tapes in our car, and the children ask for him every time we are out. His songs are just right for little people; nothing else can compare. Our kids love his music so much! I am so grateful we discovered his music.

This concert is maybe the best tape or CD he ever made. It's so silly and entertaining for children, and captures live why Raffi has such a magicical spell with young children. We have it taped (stereo) for the car and listen to it over and over.

Our other all-time favorites are Singable Songs for the Very Young (with a Peanut Butter Sandwich) and Raffi in Concert with the Rise and Shine Band, but we love them all (except the stinker Raffi on Broadway). There are a dozen other great CD's from Raffi to choose from, and any of them will do nicely with a peanut butter sandwich.

Mesmerizing for young kids, fun for adults!Jan 18, 2002
By Patricia Jeffries "Trish"
This is a really entertaining video that, best of all, involves young children. My kids, ages 3 years and 10 months, absolutely love Raffi and whenever this video is on (which is often), they are entranced by his gentle, engaging demeanor and catchy, easy to sing and dance to songs. My 3 year old knows most of the songs by heart (even one partially in French!) and loves to touch Raffi on the screen to hug him. My 10 month old bounces and tries to clap along with the songs, especially "Shake My Sillies Out." I highly recommend this video to all families - even the moms and dads will be singing along "Down By the Bay!"

Great children's entertainment without the hypeFeb 28, 2000
By Jocelyn
My two-year-old son LOVES this video. It's so simple- just a man and his guitar singing silly songs that kids love. It's a nice change of pace after today's children's entertainment, which tends to be so over-produced. Raffi just has a way with kids! Watch out, though- you'll find yourself singing Raffi songs all day long!

3 yr old son loves RaffiOct 19, 2000

My three year old son loves Raffi....My only complaint is that I could not find an audio CD version of this tape. Something about Raffi's voice really gets my son's attention...he gets up off the couch to sing and dance with Raffi. Sure beats listening to Barney!
