a great compilation, my daughter loves it and falls asleep listening everynight, she is thirty five months old. Her most favourite is little brown dog.

When I first heard this CD, I immediately loved it. The vocal artists and the musical selections are wonderful. I especially enjoy Taj Mahal's rendition of "The Little Brown Dog" and Lena Horne singing "Summertime". My four year old daughter loves the song entitled "Good Night" by The Roches. It is a delightful story about a young girl captured by an invisible monster. My 2 year old enjoys listening to Raffi's "Morningtown Ride" in the morning while we eat breakfast. This CD is not only for bedtime. Play it when you want to feel mellow.

Although over the past year I have collected several Lullaby theme CD's, If I was to purchase only one CD, this would be my pick!

What a great CD! As a new parent, I have spent many a hour rocking to this eclectic CD and I have not yet grown tired of the selections. "A Child's Celebration Of Lullaby" introduced me to several fun songs, new to me such as "Morningtown Ride - Raffi", Little Brown Dog - Taj Mahal, Blanket For A Sail - Harry Nilssen, and Be Still My Child - Ladysmith Black Mambazo.

Meaning and inspiration come through in "Light Up The World" - Joanne Shenandoah, and I felt special connection with "Singin' In My Heart" - Eric Bibb/Linda Tillery. One of the most soothing and beautiful tracks I believe is "Lullaby" - Van Dyke Parks/Brian Wilson.

Although I was previously familiar with Melancholy Baby, Summertime, Shenandoah Lullaby, Brahms' Lullaby, and Cody's Song, this CD has introduced new sounds to these popular songs.

I would give this one Six Stars!
