In The Night Garden... (A Musical Journey... The Album...) - Various Artists

Advantages: A great mixture of soothing songs
Disadvantages: None to mind

In the Night Garden is a wonderful magical place for children where between being awake and asleep a new world is open for chilren to explore. With characters such as Iggle Piggle, a loveable blue character who is never without his red blanket, and Makka Pakka with bike in tow and a horn that blows loudly to everyone, your child cannot help but be enthralled and caught up in the fun that is "In the Night Garden" Since Night garden started the phenomenom ...
...one of the many characters in the Night Garden. She is an ever happy with recogniseable coloured spiky hair and bright clothes that are mismatched but bold and endearing. Her favourite past time is to dance around the Night Garden whilst inflating her skirt - she has a cord she can pull that inflates her skirt with air -she dances with this and then when she is finishd she pushed the cord and it deflates back to a normal skirt.

Advantages: soothing and good
Disadvantages: none

...A lovely collection of songs that helps me get my three year old daughter off to sleep! And so, for that i am very grateful. Instantly recognisable as coming from the hit programme, my daughter instantly recognised the songs / music and their origin etc and it helps alot at night-times, when it can be quite hard to get her to sleep. I find it helpful to pop it on during the day too, while she is playing with her toys, as it dont like having the television on all day, although my daughter would love this! I find it also helps soothe her when upset, as the music is recognisable and relaxing. Myself, i'd prefer a bit of rhianna. But my daughter likes it and thats that i guess lol.... Read review

...In the Night Garden - a musical journey - the album. Is just what it is. i haven't yet purchased this album but i will be in the near future. It cost £7.99 from Tesco, but I am sure it is available in other shops and definately from Amazon. It is one cd on for 45 minutes made by BBC music. It is just like watching the tv programme but with no vision and is very handy for putting on in the car. The cd starts with the opening theme, to then take a journey on the Ninky Nonk, meeting Igglepiggle, then Upsey Daisy, Tombiloos, Makka Pakka, Pontipines, Pinky Ponk, and the Haahoos. The Tittifers sing their tunes between every section. It has the full Night Garden Dance before going to In the Night Garden closing theme. this CD will keep children occupied for hours and will teach your child to sing and dance with all the characters. The only... Read review

Advantages: Lovely music, tracks your toddler will recognise
Disadvantages: Short, will annoy you after a while

...contains the original songs which make it into the television show, so it is music which is going to be instantly recognisable to anyone who watches the show. I like that all the songs are included as I can choose to play either Harry's favourite songs or just let the CD run right through and let him listen to the lot if I'm feeling particularly generous or in a good mood. It is called "A Musical Journey", presumably because it takes us on a journey through the Night Garden introducing its characters and all the music featured on the show. The cover artwork isn't particularly eye-catching which I was surprised by. I would have expected it to show an enormous picture of one of the characters on the front to grab the attention of toddlers walking by but instead, it features a navy blue sea scene, much like at the start of the programme...
