Leave Your Sleep

By Natalie Merchant and Barbara McClintock

Book Overview

A magical double billing: Natalie Merchant and Barbara McClintock bringing music and poetry to life

This collection of classic children's poetry, adapted to music by Natalie Merchant, opens the door to a wondrous world filled with witches and fearless girls, blind men and elephants, giants and sailors and dancing bears.

Leave Your Sleep features a daring and delightful selection, ranging from the beloved (e.e. cummings, Edward Lear, and Jack Prelutsky) to the undiscovered (the young Nathalia Crane). Natalie Merchant's brilliant musical renderings, selected from her highly praised album, share the stage with Barbara McClintock's richly imagined art to create a memorable reading, looking, and listening experience.

Customer Reviews

Very nice book

The book is in great condition. I was hoping the cd would be included, but it wasn't. I wasn't surprised, just a little disappointed.
