so my favorite kids music album of 2006 was, hands down, elizabeth mitchell’s “you are my little bird.” in 2007, i searched for another all-around winning album and the closest i came was “when i get little” by the band dog on fleas. this album has some really catchy tunes that make me happy every time i listen. there are also a few that i eventually found myself fast-forwarding after listening to the cd a few times–they were just a little… too much for me. but really, i love the vast majority of songs on the album. i like it so much that i found a few of their older albums and listened to them as well. although i didn’t like “cranberry sauce flotilla” quite as much as “when i get little” there are a few gems like ‘sleep under stars’ and ‘listen to the mockingbird’ that got stuck in my head–in a good way.
and so, i’ve put together a list of my favorite songs from these two cd’s as well as a few favorite songs from other albums that i discovered in 2007 and here they are:

on some of these albums, this is the only song i really like, but on others i might have liked a few, but the one on the list is my favorite.
Any songs/albums/artists you’d like to add?
