Amazing coupling of Wells and show tunes magic!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I bought this book as soon as I became aware it existed! I love it, and I love it all the more so now that I have a 2 year old who loves to be sung to. If you know show tunes, you know the songs here, and it's so much fun to go through the book singing the songs and talking about the pictures. The choices are great ones---Oklahoma, When the Children are Asleep, Happy Talk, Oh, What a Beautiful Morning---songs you want your little ones to know, with pictures to make them welcoming. I have noticed how often Wells mentions show tunes in her other books, and you can see her love of them shining through here. Wonderful!
Rogers and Hammerstein and Rosemary Wells!

How could you not love this book; some of the greatest songs written for american theatre illustrated by one of the great artists of children's books. If you have a small son or daughter, buy this book! ESPECIALLY if they:1: Love musicals (like my son)2: Love Rosemary Wells (like my son)
Great songs, beautiful illustrations

Well, I was able to judge this book by its cover: I love Rodgers & Hammerstein songs (you don't even have to be a great singer to pull them off!), and I love Rosemary Wells' witty illustrations. The marriage of songs and pictures is magical. Only the verse of each song is in the illustrated section of the book, but that won't stop you from singing the whole song if you (and your child) feel like it! A songbook with complete lyrics is included, so get into that rocking chair with or without your favorite kid, and belt 'em out!
