Editorial Reviews:

There are thousands upon thousands of children's albums out there, but the one that quietly left its mark with more '70s children than perhaps any other album was this disc. IFree to Be...You and Me/I was a pet project of proud feminist Marlo Thomas (a.k.a. "That Girl"), and it was born--according to the liner notes--by the desire to provide her niece with music "to celebrate who she was and who she could be." Harry Belafonte sings "Parents Are People," ex-football great Rosie Grier offers an incredible, touching melody titled "It's All Right to Cry," and Diana Ross waxes future-positive on "When We Grow Up." A great hour of brain food for young--and not-so-young--children. I--Denise Sheppard/I

5 out of 5 stars Memories!   January 2, 2009
What a great CD to bring to today's generation of children the wonderful lessons learned from this CD.


5 out of 5 stars Nostalgic and New   December 22, 2008
For those of us who grew up with "Free to Be...," this is great nostalgia. The songs and stories come right back. But you don't have to be from the era who first listened to this to enjoy it. My toddler son LOVES the songs and is starting to get into the stories as well. It's something he can grow into, giving him the sense that whoever he is, is just fine. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this CD and it goes great with the book. If you don't have the book yet, you might want to buy that too. The artwork by Peter H. Reynolds is AMAZING. Bottom Line: It's worth the money!


5 out of 5 stars childhood memory   October 20, 2008
my sisters and I listened to this lp constantly when we were kids--have most of the skits and songs memorized. It's such a kick to share it with my kids "music like it use to be," says my son.


5 out of 5 stars My kids Love This!   September 28, 2008
Perfect for parents wary of the messages our kids are given through the popular music of today. My own kids are too old for nursary ryhmes baby music, but I am not ready for all of the songs on the radio about girls trying to get boys attention. My 7 year old won't let me turn off the car until the 'Parents are people' song is over. Plus, I listened to this as a kid I love it too. P.D.


4 out of 5 stars Did they say that?   September 19, 2008
While this is a little outdated (I remember listening to it when I was young in the 70's--therefore it touches on some of the topics of equality--hence Free To Be You and Me), the tunes and stories are still very funny and very catchy. I have even listened to it without my daughter. However, when listening to it again for the first time I did have a "did they just say that?" moment. The that was, "you're a jerk."
