Guide Review - Mommy, I Can't Sleep CD

I listened to this CD with a great deal of pleasure and found myself becoming drowsy as it played. The first song, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", has long been a favorite of mine, ever since the first time I heard it while watching the Wizard of Oz. The last tune, "Puff the Magic Dragon", was one my children and I enjoyed listening to and singing together.

Other songs are nursery rhyme favorites, including "London Bridge," Mary Had a little Lamb," and "Rock a Bye Baby," and others for a total of twelve delightful songs. The slow, rhythmic music is accompanied by the songs of Nature - birds, animals and waves washing up on shore.

I intended to pass this on to my grandchildren, but I found it so relaxing, I'm going to keep it and buy another copy for the kids.
