Description:
Despite denied claims that it's about marijuana, "Puff the Magic Dragon" now ranks as one of the finest children's songs in musical history. It's sung around campfires and in nursery schools to this very day (while still occasionally taking a tug at adults' heartstrings as well). So, it only made sense when Peter, Paul & Mary released this "kiddies" LP in 1969, beginning a trend they've returned to throughout their career. Mary Travers had indeed recently become a "mommy," and the trio celebrate here not only with a new version of their classic tune and the traditional "Mockingbird," but clever children's songs from the likes of Tom Paxton, Gilbert & Sullivan, and Shel Silverstein. --Bill Holdship

Ageless and TimelessJan 06, 2009 I was lucky enough to see the PBS Christmas Special that became this CD. Peter, Paul and Mary are timeless and so are the songs performed here. "Day is Done" makes you want to crank up the volume and sing along. The children singing in background add to the enjoyment. Sad to say, my CD was defective but Amazon's excellant customer service allowed me to return it for a refund and I will be replacing it.
Peter, Paul and MommyOct 28, 2008 Our children grew up listening to the close harmonies of Peter, Paul and Mary. This album has our favorites: The Marvelous Toy, and Puff (The Magic Dragon) My husband recently died and our children asked for The Marvelous Toy at his funeral; fortunately we have an old songbook, and my husband's guitar, so our nephew and his friend were able to sing this song for our kids. I realized, watching my son's tears, that the songs of Peter, Paul and Mary have worked their magic for us.
Peter, Paul and MommyJul 24, 2008 During a recent visit, my three year-old granddaughter asked me what my record player was. I took her to my collection of 331/3 LPs and selected Peter, Paul and Mommy - the 1969 vinyl edition. "Oh,Grannie," she said, "a big DVD!" She loved "Momma's Taking Me to The Zoo Tomorrow" and "Puff the Magic Dragon." I had forgotten all the great songs that were on this album.,,,hadn't played it for years. We really enjoyed it together. So I purchased this CD just for her...she lives in the UK...and I'm always looking for good ways to keep in touch.
WonderfulJul 17, 2008 I bought for my daughter because of The Toy. She loved that song as a child and wanted it for her sons. They play it on all their road trips.
Me Too!Apr 02, 2008 I also grew up with this (and every other PP&M album) on vinyl. Now my daughter loves this album. Even if you don't have a PP&M history, this is one of the greatest kid's albums ever. It has the added bonus of being easy for adults to listen to. We don't get tired of it. What a wonderful set of songs. "Peter, Paul & Mommy, Too" is not nearly a good.
