School Library Journal Review

Singer-songwriter Susan Berg McNelis, better known as Oh Susannah, brings new life to old favorites on this lively recording. From the pulsating rhythms of her"Wheels on the Bus" and "If you're Happy and You Know It", to the rock and roll style "Rock-a-bye Baby", these are songs that the whole family can enjoy anew. The juxtaposition of old and new is often clever, as in "Oh My Dinos", which borrows its tune from "Clementine" ( "In a cavern, in a canyon/ a paleontologist collects/fossil bones or stegosaurus/and Tyrannosaurus Rex.")   There are a few completely original tunes as well, including the title track, and "All Fall Down", a lovely ballad...  Children's librarians will be delighted to find these new versions of storytime favorites.  A fun recording for the whole family.
