The less wellknown manufacturer takes a high personal interest in every record that bears his label. j The ".Mlegro Junior" series, which is almost "made toB order" for instructional use in the lower grades, is a case in hand. All of these exceptional records are well recorded and pleasantly sung or narrated. Crane CaIder.~Tvho performs on most of the discs, boasts a particularly attractive voice, a charming delivery, and a style that can be described as entirely natural and "folksy". The singing records contain gay, simple rhythmic tunes and verses that children find easy to follow and conducive to both dancing and singing. With two exceptions, the records are readily classified under three general titles : "nursery songs" ; "participation", and "self-recognition". In the first category are : Singing Time With Mother Goose — Sung by Florence Calder Simple Simon and Other Nursery Songs — Sung by Crane Calder Ring Around The Rosy — Sung by Florence Calder The "participation" records include : The Elephant and The Flea — Sung by Crane Calder The Party Record — Sung by Crane Calder The Birthday Record — Sung by Crane Calder Skip To My Lou — Sung by Crane Calder The Mulberry Bush — Sung by Crane Calder Let's Play Animals — Sung by Crane Calder The Nutcracker Suite— Narrated by Crane Calder Two records are classified as "self-recognition". They are: Sick In Bed — Sung by Crane Calder Going To Sleep — Sung by Florence and Crane Calder Two records which remain unclassified are : Cowboys .^nd Indians — Sung by Crane Calder Peter And The Wolf — Narrated by Crane Calder All produced by .-Mlegro Records, Inc., New York. Each title represents one ten-inch di.sc (two sides). The "nursery" records suit nursery and kindergarten groups, ■ , I. aging group activities such as singing, dancing and jiay'iig. Performance is straightforward and unaffected, and tl-. happy, friendly personality projected ai)peals to the younges^ children. The "participation" records are equally suitable for youngs school children, and they will find application in the first and second grades as well as in the kindergarten. They contain! no extraneous material detracting from their educational value, the pace of delivery is good, and they attract and maintain the interest of children. They can be rated as "very good" or "excellent". Two records need special mention. On the otherwise altogether charming "The Elephant and the Flea", the song "The Little Brown Jug" is sung. Many teachers will be justifiably reluctant to bring a recognized drinking song into the classroom. This simple song can hardly be classified as children's musical literature. "The Nutcracker Suite" is entirely different from anything produced heretofore. -An accepted selection of program music is presented through its major themes for the youngest lis 506 Educafional Screert
