Its packed with songs that help kids to learn --from simple counting on tracks like "One Potato, Two Potato", "Five Little Ducks" and "Ants Go Marching" to shapes on "Shapes" and "When the Shapes Go Marching In" and even length and measurement on "What is Length?" and "1 Little 2 Little 3 Little Steps".

The album also covers a wide range of literacy-related concepts, with "The Alphabet Song", "Oh Syllable", "The Farmer Learns to Spell" and "Here we go Finding Rhyming Words". And Circle Songs for Preschoolers contains a swag of songs that involve movement, patterns, rhythms and working together.

The albums 22 tracks include circle songs like the "Hokey Pokey", "Ring a Ring a Rosie" and "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush", finger-movement songs such as "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", "Incy Wincy Spider" and "Where is Thumbkin?", and fun rhymes like "Ten in the Bed", "Im a Little Teapot", "Shoo Fly" and "Ants Go Marching".
