Hush Little Baby

This is a beautiful book that quickly became a favourite at our house. My two year old daughter asks for it often at bedtime and then chooses whether we will read or sing the story. The illustrations are wonderful but the best part of this book is that the gifts that Mother gives to her little bunny are all wonders of nature or gifts of love. This is very refreshing, especially at this time of year when the children are bombarded with material wishes.

Sylvia Longs 'Hush Little Baby" is one of the best books on the market for a parent and a young child. She takes the old favourite lullaby and gives it much more meaningful words. In a world of consumers this book challenges us as parents to be participators in our childrens lives. We wont buy them things to make them stop crying but we will spend our time with them nurturing and loving them. When I received this book for my youngest son it soon became our favourite as I would sing this beautiful song and soothe the tears. It is a must have in yours or a freinds library.
