My son loves this book because words and its so simple and easy to read.
I love this book. I remember listening (and also singing the Hush
Little Baby Lullaby in years gone by. Great book the the little ones.
The rhyming phrases are fascinating for a young child. This book is
an absolute must for any child’s bookshelf. Highly, highly recommended.
I happened upon this book nearly 3 years ago and it instantly
became a favourite of mine and also for each of my sons. I’ve add a
lyric about a sunset and a swing set when I sing it since we play on the
swings in the evening and I look forward to adding more of our memories
to the story.
I just love this book . I love the song.
I find this book you can sing along with the rest of the family. I like to hum the song to my baby and sing to my son.
