5.0 out of 5 stars A classic!, March 12, 2001

By 

Ramona Gil (Dominican Republic) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Baby's Bedtime Book (Hardcover)

I am in my way of buying this book for the second time. My first copy (8years old) got damaged in a flood. When my first child was a baby we bought it and we both enjoyed it. The rhymes and the colorful drawings in each page were highly atractive for my baby. As English as my second language it was very interesting for me too. We bought also the video and the cassette which makes the book more interesting for my growing child. The video starts with lively music and the same lyrics of some of the lullubies, and is slowing down from page to page, setting the tone to sleep. The voice of Judy Collins is wonderful. The combination (book and video) was powerful and my second child wants to have the book too. When I can't sing for them before sleep, they can hear the cassette and I can rest for the day.

4.0 out of 5 stars how cute!, June 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Baby's Bedtime Book (Hardcover)

This book is a keeper. I first purchased this book to ease my 3 year old's fear of go to sleep. I used to have such a difficult time putting him to sleep. But after reading this book to him a couple of times he actually looked forword to going to bed just so I could read this book to him. Although I must admit he enjoys looking at the pictures a little bit more than the reading part.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still love it even though my kids have out grown lullabies!, July 8, 2002

I love this book!! It was a very special book for both of my children. I love the Judy Collins tape that came with the book!! I still listen to it from time to time. My children also loved when I sang to them using the songs from the book. I'm sure every parent and child will hold this book near and dear to their hearts just as my family does - even though they've grown past the lullaby stage!!
