Editorial Reviews

PreS

Little ones will relax and fall asleep to 13 lovely, soothing lullabies. These mostly traditional tunes come from such diverse places as Indonesia, Senegal, Algeria, Israel, Cameroon, the Seychelles, Canada, Germany, Italy, and the United States. All the songs are in their native language except for the final one that is sung in English. Noted vocalists include Marco Calliari, Lynda Thalie, Idrissa Zal Sissokho, Luc Lopez, Muna Mingole, the Canadian folk-pop group Hart-Rouge, and others. The musicians perform beautifully on a variety of exotic instruments. Patrick Lacoursière wrote the words (in English, Spanish, and French) for the accompanying bedtime story book about a journey to unknown lands, and Sylvie Bourbonnière created the stylized, muted paintings. The lyrics for each song are provided in English, French and Spanish. The enhanced CD includes PDF files with printable illustrations for each song and lyrics in the original language. A fine lullaby compilation.-Beverly Bixler, San Antonio Public Library, TX
