grandma's bookshelf - Goodnight Songs - A Celebration of the Seasons - I'm Giving One Away!

I was recently invited by Sterling Children's Books to take a look at a new book by Margaret Wise Brown. It sounded interesting, so they sent it to me in exchange for my review - and they are making another available for me to give away!

You may recognize Margaret Wise Brown as the author of the loved book; Goodnight Moon. Along with a love for children's books, she had a love for children's music, so when twelve of her poems were found at her sister's house, they were set to music and made into this lovely book of bed-time songs!

Sterling Children's Books says; "'Some fine day, just run away To a long unscheduled day To where great clouds go sailing by Above the birds and butterfly.' Fluffy clouds, butterflies, furry bunnies, and life from a bug's-eye view: This stunning sequel to the New York Times bestseller  Goodnight Songs celebrates the beauty and wonder of nature all year long. Once again, a treasure trove of Margaret Wise Brown's newly uncovered verses receives loving treatment from 12 award-winning artists, including Floyd Cooper, Peter Brown, David Small, Molly Idle, and Bob Staake. From a little bear singing one morning in May to a soft snowfall, mysterious, deep, and glowing, each song is magical. An accompanying CD, with lilting songs beautifully composed and sung by Emily Gary and Tom Proutt, makes this the perfect gift for children."

I think Goodnight Songs - A Celebration of the Seasons would make a lovely gift for a baby shower - or for any family which enjoys playing soft music at bedtime and reading lovely poems.
