DVD reviews of Sukey’s Circle!:
“In a media world where the pace of children’s entertainment often borders on frantic, Sukey’s Circle! offers a gentle, sweet experience. Sukey’s approach is soothing and patient, assuring parents that she genuinely cares about the welfare and education of the very young.” Carole Demas of WPIX-TV’s ”The Magic Garden”
“One of the best music videos I’ve seen in a long time. It doesn’t try to be something it isn’t. I can watch this over and over.”
“Really love this. Sukey Molloy’s performance is very honest and original. Her voice and singing are pleasant, enjoyable and suitable for toddlers. The video is well-paced with graphics, that are simple yet appropriate. It introduces good concepts – such as time and body movements – which are enhanced by animated characters demonstrating each idea. Sukey makes good use of repetition without being didactic. The best part is the music – one can play this DVD repeatedly with great enjoyment!”
“The kids sang along, got up, danced and clapped their hands. They were glued to the screen!”
Nappa Jurors
“The pacing, the use of shapes, colors, age appropriate music and storytelling, all strike the perfect pitch for a pre-school audience. Sukey’s warm and gentle presence creates a welcoming, friendly and fun environment. Sukey’s Circle is able to speak directly to the audience at their level, without being cloying or condescending, and Sukey appears to channel the emotions of the youngest members of the audience, which is a rare gift.”
Rick Siggelkow, Producer “Shining Time Station,” “ Noddy,” “Ace Lightning,” “Dinosapien”

Circle Songs is extraordinary!
“Sukey Molloy has the perfect mix: her songs are intimate and child-centered, her voice is easy to listen to and she has gone to great lengths to provide an orchestrated background music track for each song. Some are lush and lovely while others are playful and fanciful… Molloy incorporates a nice mix of traditional and original songs with the majority being traditional songs with very tasty arrangements. Some of my favorites include “Little Peter Rabbit,” “Open Shut Them” and “Tick Tock,” which fuses strings, wonderfully authentic clock sounds and percussion.

Reviewer: John Wood, Kidzmusic.com
Sing-along!
“Our Family Testers found Circle Songs with Sukey Molloy to be a delightful and fun filled collection of children’s songs. The kids really love it as they sing along, chant, move or dance to the beautifully arranged collection. They also love the activity songbook that is actually included-a true treasure.”
Jodie Lynn, syndicated parenting/health expert, Parent to Parent, CEO/founder www.addingwisdomaward.com
Beautiful Collection!
“In this beautiful collection of 20 songs…Many of the songs encourage movement but are performed in such a gentle way that children will more than likely be prompted to sit quietly afterwards rather than run around the room. Pre-school teachers and librarians will find this collection to be a wonderful story time resource while parents will enjoy using many of the songs one on one with their children. “
School Library Journal, Nov. 2006, NY, NY Veronica Schwartz, School Library, Des Plaines Public Library, IL

Circle Song Band reviews:
“Sukey Molloy and the Circle Song Band brought music to life on the stage at Riverspace Arts Center in Nyack, New York. The songs, the colors, and the spectacle of the performance truly captivated my young children and inspired them to sing and dance along with the band.”
