Editorial Reviews

From Parents' Choice®

The purity of this folk singer's voice is a shimmering delight, and so are the varied, unusual lullabies here, rich in imagery and execution. Each one glows with Herdman's expressive lilt. In "While you Sleep," softly complemented by cellist Abby Newton and other sterling musicians, nature's goodnight soothes dreamers "when shadows start to fall and Orion walks the skies"; Herdman captures a child's innocence in the love of an old toy in "A Velveteen Love Song," written by Bob Franke, a heart-felt tribute to Margery Williams' beloved "Velveteen Rabbit." "Mid Night Round," about a singalong with harmonizing dolls and bears, offers its own a capella harmonies with Herdman joined by vocalists Anne Hills and Cindy Mangsen. Herdman conveys quiet magic in Bill Caddick's "John O'Dreams" (Yield up the nighttime to old John O'Dreams") and pianist Donald Sosin lends a feather touch to match Herdman's caressing vocals in "Lullabye (Goodnight my Angel)," by Billy Joel. A 1998 Parents' Choice® Gold Award.

This is a second wonderful collection to help a restless little one make it through the night. As a dad whose children can't seem to get through the night without a little help, Herdman's collection of just beautiful tunes is truly a godsend. I can't recommend this CD enough. My boy, going on 6 has listen to this and to Stardreamer since he was 2, and still loves them. AND best of all, these are wonderful, loving tunes, with no tie in cartoons or (thankfully) action figures!

Ms. Herdman's voice is so rich and lovely. Her selections of songs on this CD is varied and delightful. The harmonies are well done, and the accompaniment is perfection. I don't have children, although I teach. and find this CD can mellow a room, and bring children to quite conversation without any effort on my part. They love to sing along, as do I.

When we had our first child in 2002, we received Stardreamer. We liked it so much, we took a chance on Moondreamer as well. Stardreamer is our favorite, but we love both, and the two have become our standard gifts for new parents. The songs are nicely sung, our kids like them, but they are tollerable as adults, even after the 1000th time.

Highly recommended.
