THE TEDDY BEARS' PICNIC
Publisher/Manufacturer: HarperChildren's Audio
Who says all the music in the house has to be by Raffi once you have a baby? Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead made a sweet, sincere, and lyric recording of the childhood classic, the Teddy Bear's Picnic, before his death, and you and the baby are bound to enjoy it. The music starts with a banjo and guitar melody. Garcia soon joins in, crooning about the surprise that awaits if you go down in the woods today . . . " for every bear that ever was will gather there." The board book is a nice bonus, with the text of the song and lots of warm illustrations of teddy bears (including one that really looks like Jerry Garcia).
This tape won't dominate the household listening, either, in a scant four minutes or so it's six o'clock and the "mommies and daddies will take them home to bed/Because they're tired little teddy bears." Another Garcia/Whatley song and book, There Ain't No Bugs on Me, has recently been released in hard back and tape format---but wait for the inevitable board book version. The whole musical collaboration for kids by Garcia and Grisman is found on the 1993 release, Not for Kids Only.
