CD Review: I Am Happy With Sukey Molloy

My family and I recently received the new CD I Am Happy! with Sukey Molloy to review.


I Am Happy! is the third CD by independent children’s musician Sukey Molloy. She began working with children back in 1985. In 2005, launched her own, Nyack, NY-based PlayMove&Sing program of “Mommy & Me” classes and teacher training workshops, and was encouraged to record the songs she used in her classes by clients, fellow educators, and fellow musicians. Since then she's received the NAPPA Honors Award, the Mom’s Choice Gold Award, and the Preferred Choice Award - not too shabby, right?

I Am Happy! is full of fun songs geared towards the preschool crowd. The lyrics are easy to sing along with, and easy to get up and move around to for kids. Some are upbeat, a few a little quieter, and the songs are in the shorter range, average around two minutes each. Here's the complete track listing:

1. "I Put My Scarf On My Head"
2. "Cuckoo Bird"
3. "Jack And Jill"
4. "Riding On A Ferry"
5. "It's Snowing"
6. "Action Chant"
7. "Little Dance"
8. "My Head Goes Round"
9. "Sunny's Song"
10. "Be Happy Don't Worry"
11. "I Saw A Duck"
12. "I'm A Baby Hippo"
13. "Raindrops"
14. "Water Flowing Over"
15. "Counting Song"
16. "Little Boy Blue"
17. "Little Flame"
18. "I Am Happy"

My daughter really loved "Action Chant" and "Cuckoo Bird". I'm just happy having appropriate music for her to listen to!

I Am Happy! with Sukey Molloy will be released on CD on April 24th, 2012. You can purchase it online via Sukey's website, or download it via CDBaby. The total running time is 40:06, and the suggested retail price is $15.00.

I received a copy of this CD in order to listen to it and share my thoughts on it. All opinions are my own.
