The BEST Lullaby Collection!

"We have a nice-size collection of lullaby CD's and WORLD MUSIC FOR LITTLE EARS is by far my son's favorite. He's been listening to it since before he was born and now at 4 1/2 months it's the one that soothes him the best, especially the first wonderful song on the album, an incredibly sweet and poignant Brazilian lullaby sung by a father to his baby in the middle of the night. Our baby boy will stop in mid-cry and become silent when I play "his song" if he gets fussy in the car. There's also an endearing rendition of the Celtic lullaby "Suo Gan" which is also on the Susie Tallman CD, LULLABIES FOR SLEEPY EYES, which I highly recommend. My husband and I both love this CD and have recommended it to friends with small children who love it too. All the songs are sweet (but not overly so), melodic, soothing and interesting enough for adults to enjoy. We never get tired of listening to it! After such a good find I tried other compilations of lullabies from around the world and was kind of disappointed - none are as good as this collection. I cannot recommend it enough!!"
Encourages Children to Sleep

"Since they were newborns, part of our daughters' nighttime ritual has been a lullaby CD. This is one of the two CDs that our younger daughter listens to, and it's probably my favorite. It begins with a charming little song in Portuguese (I think the lyrics are about a father trying to get a baby to sleep; there are liner notes, but it's been a long time since I've read them). After that are over a dozen songs in a variety of languages, all perfect for getting a child to sleep, or putting an adult in a very mellow mood. Some of the English-language lullabies you find on other CDs tend to drive me nuts, but after hundreds of listenings, I still enjoy these. I think they're well-suited for older children, too, not just babies."
My baby wouldn't sleep without it

"This album is beautiful. As a parent, it will be one of few moments when you will want to listen to the same thing as your young child. Our daughter's crib was in our room for a long time and all of us fell asleep to these wonderful lullabies. I was actually sad when she outgrew it. I just bought it as a shower gift for the third time. The first two recipients have loved it also."
