Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 3–Canyon's love for Denver's music is evident in the lush, romantic illustrations that accompany this dolphin lullaby. The idyllic ocean environment that welcomes the baby dolphin at its birth has mystical connections to the natural world as a whole. The page layout and visual images are striking. Readers will probably want to play the CD that accompanies the hardcover edition while viewing the pictures. Without music, the text seems convoluted and cloying at times and wouldn't be easy to read aloud. Purchase as needed to satisfy requests from Denver fans, who will be the book's most likely audience.–Kathy Piehl, Minnesota State University, Mankato

5.0 out of 5 stars Five stars for Illustrations, August 25, 2004
By J. Frawley (Kew, Victoria Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Ancient Rhymes is a beautiful book, based on the wonderful words of Bob Samples and sung by John Denver. Christopher Canyon has done a superb job with the illustrations and it is a wonderful way to bring the songs of John Denver to the next generation.
Thank you Christopher Canyon, Bob Samples and John Denver for this wonderful book

5.0 out of 5 stars Deftly adapted and beautifully illustrated, November 7, 2004
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Deftly adapted and beautifully illustrated by Christopher Canyon, Ancient Rhymes: A Dolphin's Lullaby showcases singer/songwriter John Denver's song "Ancient Rhymes" which he composed in 1991 after the experience of swimming with dolphins. Also available in a hardcover edition (158469064X, $19.95) which includes an accompanying CD and Score, Ancient Rhymes: A Dolphin's Lullaby is confidently recommended to the attention of school and community librarians, and anyone of any age who admires John Denver's music or who has ever wanted to swim with the dolphins themselves!
