Having a preschool aged little one, we get to listen to a wide variety of music... 

Some is enjoyable, while others make you hope the batteries run out on the cd player... 

We were sent the "123s and ABCs" cd from Ella Jenkins and Broxton was having a great time listening to it on the way to school.  

The songs on the cd:
Easy as ABC
Johnny Had One Friend
One, Two, Three, Four, Five
One, Two Buckle My Shoe
One Potato, Two Potato
Eight Clay Pigeons
Counting from One to Ten in Spanish
Counting in Swahili
One, Two, Three O'Leary
Numbers and Alphabets
ABC's
And One and Two
Ten Green Bottles
Farmer Brown had ten Green Apples
The Rabbi teaches ABCs / English ABC Song
This Old Man

Out of all of them, we seem to both like the Farmer Brown had ten Green Apples the best!!!!
