PreS-Childhood favorites are given
an unusual twist in this collection of repackaged standard
lullabies. All 20 songs, 10 with vocals and 10 instrumentals,
are interspersed with positive affirmations such as, "Develop
a desire and eagerness for learning. Knowledge will elevate
your life," and "Love is the reason you're here.
Love brings beauty and joy to everyone and everything."
While the tunes are easily recognized, they are not always
referred to by their common titles. For instance, "Twinkle,
Twinkle Little Star" is called "Goodnight Starlight,"
and "Dreamland Lullaby" is actually the tune to
"Where Has My Little Dog Gone." Musically well
done, with songs frequently sung by children, this collection
of lullabies would best serve its purpose in a home environment
where parents can include their own words of love and affirmation
for their children and for public library collections where
parenting is emphasized.-Veronica Schwartz, Des Plaines
