Clare Beaton's soft felt and antique pictures set a gentle and peaceful scene for 22 of the most beautiful lullabies ever.' --Vivian French, top 5 gift books, Guardian Children's Books Supplement

All children will find the songs soothing and calming, so they are perfect for babies in the nursery at bedtime, or for older children at quiet time. Children will enjoy 'laa-ing' along to the gentle tunes, or singing along with the words that are easy to learn. All ages will love to follow the words in the book while they look, touch and feel the bright and fabulous sewn-in illustrations by fabric artist Clare Beaton.' --BBC Parenting
