MOG Editorial Review
Folk titan Woody Guthrie created his collection of children's songs with such care that it was bound to become a classic. Among easy-going folk songs about the fanciful adventures of nesting birds and creative counters, Guthrie sings simplistic, rhythm-heavy tunes sure to capture any toddler's attention. Whether teaching kids to count or just pining on the virtues of bumble bees, his love of children is evident throughout the album. The title, meanwhile, is in earnest: folk fans of all ages will appreciate this rare opportunity to hear the so-often-serious singer embracing an optimistic and care-free aesthetic.

AMG Review of Songs to Grow on for Mother and Child
William Ruhlmann & Bob Hinkle
All Music GuideSome of the last songs written and recorded by Woody Guthrie were his children's songs. Their strength, shown in Songs to Grow on for Mother and Child, is an unusually strong identification with actually being a child, in all its simplicity and charm, along with the ability to win over listeners. Good examples here are "Rattle My Rattle" and "I Want My Milk." Guthrie is an acquired sonic taste worth acquiring. Ages 3-5.
