Summary: Good selection, unusual illustrations
Review: This book features 61 traditional songs, primarily English and American. The illustrations, however, are much more diverse--from Japanese scrolls to a picture of a jeweled box shaped like a frog. Each song has a brief introduction describing its origins or other important facts, and each image also has a description, often including historical tidbits. The bountiful images (at least one per page, often more) make it a good book for young children to look at while singing or playing at the piano.

Summary: Go in and Out the Window
Review: This looks like a book for children, and it is. But even more important, it is a book for babies! My two year old baby boy already knew some of the songs going into the book. Let me tell you that at two and two months he now requests "Bringing in the Sheaves." and "Down by the Riverside."
Every night we take that book to bed and we sing and sing until we fall asleep. This is of course after reading several other board books first. I reccommend this book as a keepsake for life!
