0–9 Series is a 1989 series of ten compilation albums released by ABC for Kids.[1] It won the ARIA Award for Best Children's Album in 1990 and was nominated for the ARIA Award for Best Cover Art in the same year.
The ten albums are aimed at children of each age from 0 to 9: 0 (or Zzzero) for 0 year olds through to 9 (or Nine) for 9 year olds. Over 270 songs were recorded for the album series with 214 appearing on the final products. The diversity provides "For newborns and parents there are lullabies (several in different languages), songs about children and sounds of nature. For tiny tots there are entertaining poems, nonsense tunes, clapping and stomping songs and for pre-teens there are contemporary pop songs that touch on some of today's social issues that concern young people."[1] A documentary, The Making of 0–9 (1989), on the production of the albums was released alongside it. A promotional album, Zzzero–Nine Sampler, was used to advertise the releases.
