Customer Reviews

Great 'night night' routine with my children!

This book has wonderful illistrations; Peter Yarrow's voice is compltetly soothing on the CD and best of all my boys love it that i'm able to strum along and sing on my guitar using the simple chord arrangements at the back of the book. I love that I was able to appricate this music as a small child and now pass it on to the next generation

Invitation to Dream

May Flower's review says everything. This is the most beautiful Sleepytime Songbook we've ever had. Voices like Velvet and Silk, mellifluous and soothing and dreamlike Illustrations.

Beautiful and sweet

Our 3 month old LOVES this CD as he falls asleep each night. It's a beautiful, peaceful blend of voices that's perfect for the nighttime ritual of putting baby to sleep.

Wonderful Folk Bedtime Lullaby Book and CD

The traditional folk music that has been around for generations still has a place in the home music collections. Peter Yarrow (of the 1960's band Peter, Paul and Mary) has just recently released two story songbooks titled The Peter Yarrow Songbook: Sleepytime Songs and The Peter Yarrow Songbook: Favorite Folk Songs. Following on the heels of his popular, bestselling Puff the Magic Dragon, these new songbooks are full of multi-generational musical gems. We love our copy of The Peter Yarrow Songbook: Sleepytime Songs. It is quite impressive and truly a great bargain. A whopper of an illustrated picture book, it includes a corresponding music CD in addition to guitar chord accompaniment diagrams and a section of historical facts about the songs in the back of the book. Twelve lullabies were chosen for the book and the lyrics to each of the songs have been beautifully illustrated by Terry Widener. Many of the illustrations include an image of a sleeping child. The CD is a pure folk recording, with Yarrow and his daughter, Bethany singing accompanied only by two acoustic guitars. Their voices blend wonderfully together in the comforting, lulling melodies. Buy this one to share with children, parents, grandparents, or friends. Few products are appropriate for all generations. This is one of the few.

My Two Year-Old Son Love These Songs

I recommend this CD and book to anyone with a youngster in their lives. The songs are simple and beautiful, for children and adults to listen to.
