Parents spoiled by the "family music" phenom--those who have come to expect that the music they buy for their kids will appeal to them as well--will be disappointed in Mommy & Me"s "Playgroup Favorites." However, the CD does have its strengths--Mommy & Me veterans and current attendees will be instantly prepared to sing along with the first two tracks, "Mommy & Me" and "Shake My Hand," and the rest are no-brainers: graspably goofy renditions of "B-I-N-G-O" and the like. Suggested activities--moderate movement for some songs and aerobic cool-downs for others--make following the musical playgroup agenda at home a breeze, and the split-track format (the second half of the CD is an instrumental repeat of the first) keeps the floor-based fun going strong long after everybody has hugged themselves goodbye during "Take My Hand." --Tammy La Gorce
