Customer Reviews

Beautiful book.

The fabulously beautiful illustrations are the highlight of this book. Pictures of children at bedtime merge with colorful celestial images to create a feel of dreamland. The familiar lullabies are quiet and sweet, perfect for bedtime. There are 3 verses of 'Twinkle, Twinkle.' And you may know 'Golden Slumbers' from the Beatles song that uses part of it (modified) in it's intro ("sleep now darling, do not cry, and I will sing a lullaby..."). My 15 month old loves this book so much that she recently started carrying it all around with her, and has even insisted on napping with it.

A Notable Twist on an Old Classic --Great for Young Toddlers

My son received this book as a gift when he was 1. I still read it regularly to him at 28 months. The book features Twinkle Twinkle Little Start plus a few verses you probably don't know on one side. Then flip the book to read Golden Slumbers, which may be new to you as it was to me. The illustrations in this book are dazzling, literally. Not only do the figures feature the bold colors and contrasts toddlers love (not too busy), but each page also has a holographic overlay with a star or moon. There are also some cut-out pages adding a tactile dimension to the book. The celestial theme is carried throughout the book which has no religious overtones.I have only one very small gripe about this book. The rhythm is lost in one of the verses of Twinkle Twinkle ("She would not know which way to go, if you did not twinkle so"). You have to sort of swallor the word "She" and accent the word "would" to make it work. Otherwise, I adore this book. It makes a lovely shower gift so parents can start to read to their children from day one.
