Ella Jenkins is probably the most legendary name as far as childrens instructional records are concerned. This record is on Scholastic/Folkways and focusses on teaching kids to count. There are heaps of cool little counting songs that everyone should recognise, with Ella accompanied by acoustic guitar and children from Lake Meadows Nursery School. Ella Jenkins had a long and successful career recording these sorts of records for all sorts of curriculum areas as she neatly infused folk music with education. Her records shouldn't be hard to find and are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face with their innocence and happiness.
