in Care-a-Lot. Kid Stuff Records, 1983. Vinyl.
Summary:
The Care Bears are having a meeting in the Hall of Hearts
when they hear about a sad boy whose family and friends have all forgotten his
birthday. They bring the boy to
Care-A-Lot and try to make his day better through song.
Audience:
Ages 2-8
Strengths:
Entertaining songs
Songs are simple and catchy enough for toddlers
Good lessons about using your imagination, the power of
dreams, and working together
Weaknesses:
This recording is out of print and only available as a vinyl
record, making it difficult for the
average child to access.
Audio quality on vinyl
will depend on the quality of the record player used
The performances range from pretty good (most of the bears)
to outright terrible (the boy), and no one sounds particularly like a professional performer
Uses:
A good introduction to telling a simple story using only
sound and music, no pictures.
Ask children how they would feel if they thought their friends
and family had forgotten their birthday.
Can be used to teach young children about friendship,
working together and sharing with others.
Listen-alikes:
There have been many Care Bears records, tapes and CDs that
teach similar lessons, including:
Introducing the Care Bears
The Care Bears Care for You
The Care Bears Birthday Party
Care Bears: Let's Be Friends
Awards:
None
