Customer Reviews

Great CD for kids and grown-ups

I have used the CD everyday for over 4 years for a total of 2 kids. Both fall asleep to this CD and have done so since they were newborns. Its very relaxing...I have fallen asleep to it myself!! CD still working great. We never really read the book much.

Wonderful illustrations and music

This book was given to us as a gift when our daughter was about 6 months old. She was having trouble sleeping at the time and we used the book and the lullabys to help with the bedtime routine. She has grown so fond of the songs that we actually turn on the CD before she goes to bed each night. Ok, maybe that is a little over the top, but she truly enjoys the songs and the book is beautifully illustrated. It would make a great gift.

Truly lullabies

This is a great book and CD. The music is beautiful, and the songs have similar styles/arrangements -- meaning that my baby actually does get lulled to sleep! And once you learn the tunes to the original arrangements (which takes about 4 or 5 listenings), it's really fun to sing along. *** Well, my daughter is now [...] and I'm back looking for more book/CD sets like Mrs. Moon. We rediscovered it a few months ago, and read/listen to it every single night before bed. She totally loves it -- in a whole new way! She loves the pictures, and the way the songs match the pictures. (Once she learns to read, I expect we'll move on to the lyrics!) I've never gotten so much mileage out of one book/CD. It's just great!

well paired book and cd set

the beautiful patchwork illustrations of this book are very well matched by the folk style of the songs. though all of these songs are classics, Dana Kletter's original arrangement of them is refreshing in its sound, making them seem entirely new. the gentle tones of the voices and traditional instruments really give a cozy warmth to the lullabies, and really do pair well with the sweet homemade quality of the pictures they accompany.
