Customer Reviews

One of a kind!

We received this as a gift upon the birth of my daughter. Eight years later, it's still a delightful book to read together. I loved the diversity in this books, as we finally see our own culture and heritage represented for once. Some of the poems make lovely lullabies, while others were bit too scary (so we skipped them). Illustrations are beautiful, and it includes a range of poets (Nikki Giovanni, Carl Sandburg, Ogden Nash).

Great for children

My five year old son asked me to purchase this book after he heard it on his first sleep over. I read it and found it to be very well put together. I know some people moan about the grammer, but I think that it's cute. I highly reccomend this to anyone that has a 4 to 5 year old child. Its lovely.
