Can you please help me choose which 2 new CDs to buy before Pesach? Here are the ones we don't have yet:
The Daring Disguise
PApa and the Prince
The Miraculous Menorah
The Incredible Draidel of Feitel Von Zeidel
The Magic Yarmulke
A Ton of Mon

Please respond if you have an opinion on any of them. Thanks!

Since I posted under my user name and am way too paranoid to answer that, how about forget the kids ages, what will DH and I be okay hearing over and over and over Smile

We love the Zeidy ones if that helps.

A Ton of Mon and the Daring Disguise Smile

A Ton of Mon will get stuck in your head, but I haven't minded it too badly.

The Daring Disguise, should I be embarrassed to say that I enjoy listening to it?

The Magic Yarmulke is a classic - definitely that one!

After that, I would say A Ton of Mon - my kids love it! (and I loved it when I was a kid Smile

)

You have The Golden Crown and its follow up, The Lost Treasure?

Those are great for the 6-12 year old crowd- for whom some CDs will already be too babyish.

The Magic Yarmulka is awesome, as is its follow-up CD, Searching for the Magic Yarmulka.

And u have all the Marvellous Middos Machine CDs? I love those. They came out with a 4th one a few years ago (the original 3 are from the 80s) and it was very popular. Those somehow seem to work for all ages, theyre great.

Amd u have all the Marvellous Middos Machine CDs? I love those. They came out with a 4th one a few years ago (the original 3 were around when I was a kid) and it was very popular.

But those aren't Shmuel Kunda, they are Abie Rotenberg... I second those recommendations.

Do you have The Longest Pesach?

I can't say if an adult would enjoy them, but I have really fond memories of growing up on The Longest Pesach and the Magic Yarmulke. I never listened to any others so I can't compare them, but those tapes were fantastic when I was little kid.

definitely a ton of mon- one of the best! !( "bum bum bum" we araabs NEVER ARGUE!)
after that I would tossup between the daring disguise and the magic yarmulka, but they are all great!! the chanuka ones I would wait off on, because they are specific to chanuka .

Shmuel kunda will be missed.. he was the best not only do kids like his cd's but parents like me ( my baby is still so young that calling myself a parent sounds funny) don't go crazy like other annoying kids tapes. plus the songs are great and have great messages for kids (like "if everythings impossible and you dont know why"... from the royal rescue)

The Magic Yarmuka - I think it has the greatest message of all, that anything is possible it's all in your your'e head.

All ages love the magical yarmulka and searching for the magical yarmulka.

We have most of them. My kids love listening to them.
