When someone sends you kids' tapes to review, you have to forget about your own aversion to them and hear through the eyes of a child. Aimed, I presume, at the four-nine year age group, these tapes present a collection of easy to learn songs for use in the home, the car, or at Sunday School. The lyrics are, on the whole, very repetitive but catchy enough to appeal to youngsters. The music is quite robotic but, again, I'm sure that children won't mind. New songs like "Three In One" are quite good in their own way, but a disco version of the traditional "'Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus" plummeted this listener to the depths of despair.
