By Peter Durward Harris
There has never been anybody quite like Tom T Hall, the country singer who was able to tell stories of everyday life within the limits of a song. The most famous song he wrote was Harper Valley PTA, a story about parents of schoolchildren, which was a huge hit for Jeannie C Riley.
Tom T Hall recorded two albums of songs for children. All the tracks from Songs of Fox Hollow (1974) plus seven of the eleven songs from Country songs for kids (1988) are to found on this CD, though it seems a little bit mean of the record company to leave out the four songs, as there is room for them. That said, I haven't heard the other four songs and the price is reasonable for the eighteen songs here.
Two of the songs - I love (the opening track) and I care - are classic songs that would not be out of place on any Tom T Hall album. I first came across them on a hits compilation of his, and didn't even think they would have first appeared on a children's album.
The remaining songs are definitely targeted at children - but there's a child in all of us. If you enjoy Tom's normal music, you will find that his style of singing suits the songs here. Many of them are inspired by animals to be found on a farm - snakes, foxes, dogs, birds, chickens and ducks - although one of the songs is about a raccoon.
This is an excellent album for children of all ages.

By lanelese
I was 4 years old when my mother bought me Tom T Hall's record, Songs from Fox Hollow, and I played that thing to death! Now, 25 years later I still love the songs that were on that album, which are all included on Country Songs for Children, as much as I did then. I still sing along to Sneaky Snake, and still wish I had a Baby Goat to talk to. I share this with all the children in my life!

By Gloria Klutzke
I have an album with these same songs on it from Tom T. Hall that I've had since the 1970s. I played it for my own children and for other children when I watched them. Children seemed to LOVE it! So now, as a Grandma, I am going to order this in CD version for my grandchildren. They love to dance and Tom's songs are lively and fun to for both dancing and listening!
