Can someone recommend a good children's CD for the car?

Have been given a Wiggles CD but it was rather painful - almost forced me to drive into oncoming traffic just to make it stop .

Can anyone recommend a good sing-song CD with things like "The wheels on the bus", "baa baa black sheep", etc. Cheers!

One of the Now CDs? I'm being serious. We had Winnie the Pooh story tapes for dsd for the journeys when dh was taking her back to her mums. They drove us up the bloody wall and she'd ask to have one on every time she was in the car.

I vowed never to put any childrens CDs on for dd, and haven't, and she's perfectly happy listening to the radio and our CDs and singing along to them.

Thanks - I've tried singing along to normal music but weirdly the only thing that will bring quiet to the car when it's all kicking off is a bellowing rendition of "Baa baa black sheep" or similar. Maybe it's my singing voice!

Anyone else?

Oh shame. I shall thank my lucky stars then that dd doesn't mind our music. Mind you, the one she really likes is "loving you" by Minnie Ripperton. The la-la-la-la-la bit followed by the screaming is always done at the top of her voice and is very ear piercing!

JUngle Book is pretty good
otherwise the kids cds at m and s are pretty good, not too nauseating

Frank Sinatra

you can sing along to him

we call Dean Martin 'Uncle Dean'

find me a child who doesn't like singing 'Volare'

Charlie and Lola's CD is fabulous.

Though, not obviously, full of "Wheels on the Bus" etc.

Mothercare CDs are good. They have a nursery rhyme one, a farming one and a jungle one. All go down really well. Good value too - loads of songs for a fiver.

Early Learning Centre do some good ones, and there's loads of Nursery Rhyme/song cd's in the sale at Woolworths
