| It's too hard to have one favorite out of all the songs. Zero My Hero, Three is a Magic Number, and Conjunction Junction are probably always at the top for me, though.
We bought a set of CDs awhile back for our daughter (now 7), and were very happy that she loved listening to them. My wife and I got to bring back great childhood memories of the Schoolhouse Rock bits between Saturday morning cartoons, and our daughter learned a lot from them. Between Montessori school and the Multiplication Rock songs, she was really learning to multiply at age 5. The other discs (Grammar, America, and Science) had similar results. Behold, the power of music!
Bob Dorough and company produced some classics that will help many generations of kids. While I can't prove it, I think that kids somehow understand the quality and inspiration that went into those recordings, and it attracts their attention. We also have a son who is 7 months old, and I look forward to another round of Schoolhouse Rock in a few years.
I think I'll find those CDs and have a listen. Thanks for the reminder, Alex.
