Overview / 简介: |
| Luminous pastel illustrations washed with color accompany the familiar words of this song from the American South. With its images of many-colored horses, cake, and a lost lamb that finds its mother, this lullaby artfully bridges the gap between sleep and waking. The pictures, too, take the viewer back and forth between the comfortable reality of the cradle on the porch and the vivid landscape of a child's dream. This striking picture-book rendition offers a new vision of a favorite lullaby and includes a simple arrangement of the tune. |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| PreSchool-K-This classic lullaby, thought to have originated during slavery in the American South, is carefully illustrated with one double-page spread for each line. The pictures are rendered in pastels and are dominated by rich hues of the blues, purples, and yellows found in evening skies. Mother, the source of life, dressed in yellow, begins the story with a finger posed to hush, radiating love and care in an image that is larger than the page can hold. The colors reinforce both the emotional concern of the African-American mother and the whimsical elements found in the lullaby. Transitions between the reality of parent with child and the fantasy of the infant's dreams are seamless. Notes about the probable origin of the song and the musical score are included. |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| As a Kodaly music teacher I was looking for songs in book form to sing to my young groups of children. I chose this book from the Amazon Catalogue without having seen it and was delighted when it arrived. The lullaby is a beautiful song and the music is printed at the back of the book in piano score with the words. The pictures have been beautifully done with the colours really lending themselves to the peaceful, rather whimsical feel of the song. It is a winner not only with the young children but their parents as well. Very classy. |
