Everything about this lullaby release is lovely: the image-rich, imagination-stirring poems by Robert Louis Stevenson, Walter de la Mare, Tennyson and others, the pretty melodies by golden-voiced Ellen Kjelgaard Godula and co-composer Brian Godula and even the CD's packaging, filled with quaint illustrations from yesteryear. Like recording artist Ted Jacobs has done with his memorably inspired CDs of recent years, "A Child's Garden of Songs" and "The Days Gone By," the Godulas offer an irresistible invitation to listeners of any age to discover (or re-discover) the beauty and magic to be found in the poetry of the past.

This winsome recording will refresh a tired mother at the same time it will give her baby a valuable lesson in music. As a trained child therapist, and counselor to hundreds of children, I understand first hand how important the first few years of a child's life are. Give your child the best exposure to music early on with recordings such as this, by talented musicians, who could easily have chosen to do music for adults only, but instead, have lovingly focused on the world of the child.
