in the family should hear. It's a collection of children's songs from around the world sung mostly in their native languages and presented in attractive and tuneful arrangements. The songs travel from Africa to the Caribbean, from Australia to North America. It's enjoyable and entertaining to journey from "Waltzing Matilda", sung in the Aboriginal language called Pitjantjatjara, to Buckwheat Zydeco's "Mardi Gras Mambo", then cross over to Greece for the bouzouki strumming and rousing chorus of "Tik Tik Tak", before heading for Brazil and "Good Morning To You" (sung in Portuguese and Patua).

I am more at home with pop music, but I noticed this in my local library, with its lovely colourful cover. Taking it home, I really enjoyed listening to it and it introduced me to many different types of music from all over the place. I think it would make a brilliant present for someone. I therefore found it difficult ...
