Give your kids the gift of great music this Christmas! I've personally listened to selections from all of the CDs on this list and highly recommend any of them if you want to get your kids hooked on fun family friendly music. All of the CDs on this list have also been selected as the best children's music CDs by About.com and/or have all received excellent average ratings of 4.5 to 5 stars from parents on Amazon.com &/or Barnes & Noble.

My personal favorites, as a musician, are the ones by They Might Be Giants, which are just brilliant and clever, fun lyrics with incredibly fun melodies & tunes. I've included links directly to each CDs page on Barnes & Noble or Amazon's site to make your shopping even easier. (Remember to order early if you want it to get there by Christmas).

Some great kids CDs on this list, but really you can't go wrong with any of these selections! :)
