All the Pretty Little Horses: A Traditional Lullaby

By Linda Saport

Book Overview

Luminous pastel illustrations washed with color accompany the familiar words of this song from the American South. With its images of many-colored horses, cake, and a lost lamb that finds its mother, this lullaby artfully bridges the gap between sleep and waking. The pictures, too, take the viewer back and forth between the comfortable reality of the cradle on the porch and the vivid landscape of a child's dream. This striking picture-book rendition offers a new vision of a favorite lullaby and includes a simple arrangement of the tune.

Great lullaby

My grand daughter loves all the colors in this book, plus the horses. Since this is one of the songs I sing regulary to her its nice to know the orgin facts & have pictures to go with the words.

A beautiful way to end the day...

Rich colors and beautifully rounded shapes capture a warmth and expressiveness that both parent and child will enjoy. The illustrations flow with the music for a delightful combination of song and imagery.

All the Pretty Little horses

My 23 Months old daughter absolutely loves this book. Very bright and clear pictures of the baby, a mother , a sheep and other familiar objects. It is very soothing reading or singing before bedtime. Very few words on each page which makes it easy for toddlers to concentrate, has music to the lullaby at the end of the book. I would highly recommend it as an addition to a bedtime routine.
