More Songs to Grow On: A New Collection of Folk Songs for Children

In 1954, music educator Beatrice Landeck, who taught at the Mills College of Education in New York City, complied a book of American folk songs entitled More Songs to Grow On. The 21 songs on this recording were chosen from this book, and they include songs intended originally for adults as well as those clearly for children. Wide ranging in origin and subject matter, the selections range from cowboy songs to Christmas songs to songs of the sea, alongside humorous numbers about animals, male/female relations, etc.

Features 21 diverse selections including cowboy tunes, sea shanties, Christmas songs, and humorous animal numbers. Gorgeous illustrations by  David Stone Martin.
