Customer Reviews

This book moved me.

Beautiful poetic verses accompanied by lovely illistration are even more meaningful when taken in the context of the real life Jumbo's possible memories. My daughter rechecked this library book again and again. Soon to be 8, I'm sure she will enjoy it just as much when I buy it fo her new baby brother. However this lullaby is worthy of much more elaborate illistrations.

Excellent Childrens Book for Bedtime

This is an excellent bedtime book to read to a young child. We started reading it to our daughter when she was first born. Now at age 16 months, it is her favorite book.The pictures are vibrant and sweet. But my favorite part of the book is the cadance of the text....it just flows off the tongue and thus is a joy to read. We have basically memorized it from reading it so much. So now we can recant it to our daughter even when we don't have the book. This is a great benefit when travelling, since the familiar words lull our daughter to sleep. Can't recommend it highly enough!

My 2-year old's favorite

This is my two-year old's very favorite book. The illustrations are beautiful and the story is very creative. The author tells of the dreams of various animals. A hippo dreams of being a butterfly. Zebras dream of being painted in bright colors. I definitely recommend it, especially for animal-loving children.
