Reviews of Spin, Spider, Spin
Malvina Reynolds, composer of “Little Boxes”, and “Turn Around”, and
other hits of the 60’s and 70’s wrote:
“This album is delightful. Whereas many people tend to talk down to youngsters, this is quality poetry and music that understands the potential of children’s intelligence, and taste.”
Evan Cater, Rovi Corp. music review:
"This charming collection of children's folk songs was intended to teach kids to appreciate nature, particularly natural creatures that are often regarded by adults with fear and loathing. The songs... extol the virtues of spiders, lizards, snakes, bees, worms -- virtually every critter you'd expect to find on a list of America's Least Wanted... The songs are simple and pretty, containing memorable melodies and attractive acoustic guitar and harmonica arrangements. Spin, Spider, Spin was released in 1974 and seems rooted in environmentally concerned, folk music loving hippie culture. But it doesn't seem dated and should carry considerable appeal for parents looking for an alternative to Pokemon and Disney products."
