Here's a collection of pop stars who have donated child-friendly tracks from their back catalogs, some of which were recorded years ago, in aid of charity. As such, your kids might not find the songs extremely interesting or catchy. But, its a great way for grownups to share music with their children. Besides, it has the Dixie Chicks singing The Rainbow Connection, which may be the best rendition of Kermit's opus we've heard.
This album benefits People For the American Way's Project Kid Smart and People For the American Way Foundation's Start Smart America, projects working to ensure preschool education for all American children.
