Summary: Beautifully illustrated!
Review: I can finally remember all the words to this lullaby! This book, with its beautiful illustrations, is a bedtime favorite for my girls, ages 2 and 4. They love to look at and talk about the pictures, and sing along or tell the story with their own words. The end is the favorite part of these big sisters - - the baby is finally quieted when his big sister catches and holds him. I would recommend this book to anyone! It also makes a great gift for new parents!

Summary: We love this book!
Review: If you like to sing to your child, this book is a must have! Hush Little Baby just arrived on our doorstop today and immediately my 2 1/2 year old Wendy wanted me to sing it twice over. After I had gone on to another book, she picked up this book and 'read' it to herself! I have always gotten stuck beyond the second rhyme with this song and usually sang myself into a corner, trying to make up the rest. Finally with the song in print, I can finish this song.Marla Frazee's illustrations are lavish with details, and each one truely is a work of art. The jacket mentioned that she did some research in the hills of West Virginia, at Fort New Salem to regain the feel of this lullaby's Applachian roots. The faces of the characters are so realistic for any family trying ANYTHING to calm a baby down so that everyone can get some sleep. And, true to form, the baby is calmed, just in time to greet the dawning sun. Older siblings with a new baby in the house can particularly relate to this book as the older sister offers everything in a peddlers cart, one by one, to pacify her baby brother (or sister, I can't tell). The words are 3/4" high with one line of the song for each opening. The pages flip quickly, making this book a good one for a page-turning toddler develping an interest in books. Added bonus, if the parent isn't familiar with the song, the musical score, with all the verses, is printed on the last page. I have become an instant fan of Marla Frazee's work and will continue to look for more of her books. I am so impressed with this one, it was perfect for us!

Summary: This is a GEM!
Review: My 18 month old daughter loved this book. She can still recall this book though we had returned it to the library 2 months ago. She calls it "Papa book". I've just placed an order for this book, and I can't wait for it arrival.

Summary: Great pictures to go with a song that is a real favorite
Review: My older son just loves the Hush Little Baby lullaby, and so this book was a must for us. We just love the pictures! The artist is great at showing emotions on faces. You can really tell how everyone is feeling. I think this book would be a good one for a family expecting a new baby, as it's one of the few books that admits that babies can be tough---they can cry a lot and be hard to comfort---but also shows the whole family working together to try to make the baby happy. It would set a great tone for the baby to be! Really a nice book.

Summary: cute pictures
Review: What a sweet book. My older daughter and I sing this lullaby to my younger daughter. The illustrations are wonderful - so much detail. I do wish that instead of using Papa as the subject("Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird"....) the book read Mama, but oh well. It's the author's version I guess. All in all, I would buy this book again and plan to do so for future gifts.
