God Is My Friend

Listening to this with my kids was so fun & brought back happy memories. The CD was in great shape. They also sent some little pamphlets with it, which I enjoyed. One thing was a postcard for a free trial of Creation Magazine, which I have been wanting to order, but forgot about, so I'm excited to order that too! Nice people! :)

Love this music. Brings back memories for me of when my kids were young. Play it for the grandchildren now.

This was the same album I listened to back in the 80"s when I was growing up. It is perfect. So glad I made the purchase!! Now my nephews can listen to it and sing those cute little songs with me!! :)

I listened to this as a child and loved it. I wanted my children to grow-up with the same songs. They sing along to this CD all the time!

Music is lively and engaging with a message of truth and encouragement - every child will love it! I would recommend this CD for your library.

So glad that I will be able to share the same songs that I grew up listening to. Love the good morning song. I love that I will be able to sing it with my little one. Thank you for giving me a way to share my childhood memories with the next generation.

brought back lots a happy childhood memories listening to this cd with my kids. Good quality, minus the scratchiness of the original vinyl!

Bullfrogs & Butterflies: God Is My Friend (1978) is the first of four cds in the series "Bullfrogs and Butterflies."The Agapeland website says this cd features: Barry McGuire, George Banov, Jim & Dee Patton, Andy Davis, Kathy Salerno, Sherry Saunders, Frank Hernandez, Mary Gross, Theretha Boswell, Ane Weber, Ron Krueger.Songs on the album include Welcome To Agapeland, Good Morning, This Is The Day, Rainy Day Song, Kid Talk, I Like Knowing God, My Hands Belong To You, Friends, Practice Makes Perfect, Bullfrogs and Butterflies, Noah, and You're So Good To Me. Throughout the songs there are some narrative bits."Welcome To Agapeland" is the cheerful opening song which "transports" the listeners to a cartoon-like world of love, peace, and goodwill. (I know this because the record album included illustrations for all the songs.) 5 stars"Good Morning" continues the cheerful spirit of "Welcome To Agapeland" and unless it's used as a mean-spirited wake-somebody-else-up song...is quite enjoyable :) 5 stars"This Is The Day" is a softer, slower song with lyrics taken straight from Scripture. 4 stars"Rainy Day Song" is one of my favorites. It's message is that the weather (rain or shine) doesn't matter since Christians have a different sort of son shine. (Corny pun, yes, but it's still fun in its own little way.) 5 stars"Kid Talk" is another one of my favorites. This song is a conversation between two kids: a boy and a girl. The message of the song...is that everyone...kids and adults...can have a relationship with God. 5 stars"I Like Knowing God" is sung by a spirited bunch of kids. It compares the normal "kid activities" with the more spiritual ones. Cute song. 4 stars."My Hands Belong To You" lacks the spirit and energy of the rest of the album, it's more of a slow-down-and worship song. 4 stars."Friends" was the first song on the second side of the record/cassette; so it begins off with a cheerful "Welcome Back" message. It's an upbeat song that is very catchy. 5 stars."Practice Makes Perfect" is an endearing song about a young girl whose piano playing is less than perfect...and her determination to keep on trying. 5 stars."Bullfrogs and Butterflies" is a very fun song; it's hard not to sing along with this great song. 5 stars"Noah" is a very fun story-song (much better than the classic "Arky Arky") that, as you can guess, tells the story of Noah. This song is fun to clap and dance too. Although I spent my entire childhood listening to this album, it wasn't until recently that I noticed how much of a disco-beat this song had! 5 stars"You're So Good To Me" is the last song on the album. It is in a way a "wind-down" song. It's probably my least favorite on the album...although it's not a bad song. 3 stars.I grew up listening to BULLFROGS AND BUTTERFLIES: God is My Friend. It was a wonderful album then, and I'm glad to see it has been released on cd.The music will probably seem dated to some audiences, but if you grew up in the late seventies to early eighties...these songs will transport you back. (A trip I'm quite happy to make some days.)
