FOR AGES 2 TO 5: BOOK/CD COMBOS

Blue Moo: 17 Jukebox Hits From Way Back Never by Sandra Boynton and Michael Ford (pictured)
The beloved children's-book writer-and-illustrator team is back with a kitschy '50s collection of songs to read and sing along (and march) with. Steve Lawrence warbles the title track, the legendary B.B. King belts out those ''One Shoe Blues.'' Pure fun. ($17)

The Laurie Berkner Songbook
If you are musically inclined and have some skills on either the piano or guitar, your toddlers will be extremely excited to hear you play ''I'm Gonna Catch You'' or ''We Are the Dinosaurs.'' Or invite someone over who can play. ($17)
