The album features musical settings of classic children's poetry.
Lobster Quadrille was released as Columbia CC 24506 with a blue label, and it was their first release for Columbia Records. The album originally came packaged with a hardcover illustrated book containing all the poems. It was re-released without the book as Columbia CR 21525 with a red label.
The album was reissued in 1973 to capitalize on Carly Simon's success as a solo artist, under the title Lucy & Carly – The Simon Sisters Sing for Children as Columbia CR 21539. For this edition, additional instrumentation was added to the original album to give it a more pop-oriented sound.[2] It also has a new cover featuring a photo of the sisters.
In 2008, Shout! Factory released the album on CD, under the title Carly & Lucy Simon Sing Songs for Children.[2] Although the disc's packaging uses the illustration from the album's original cover, the CD contains the 1973 version of the album.
