"Over the Rainbow" is a beautifully produced book of dreamy paintings by Eric Puybaret who was the artist for the "Puff the Magic Dragon", flawlessly set to the beloved lyrics of "Over the Rainbow," music by Harold Arlen, lyrics by E. Y. Harburg. Sung by internationally acclaimed vocalist Judy Collins, "Over the Rainbow" is a classic to bestow upon a whole new generation of fortunate, beloved children. "Over the Rainbow" is the perfect pre-naptime, pre-bedtime storybook, with all the elements of magic and imagination to inspire sleepy young dreamers. An added bonus is the inclusion of two other songs sung by Judy Collins on the enclosed CD, "White Choral Bells" and "I See the Moon."
The pictures in this book are beautiful. That is what keeps my child engaged. However, I also have the Puff the Magic Dragon book and it does a much better job at following the music. Even if a verse repeats itself the book will do the same. The Over the Rainbow book does not and could use a few more pages to match the words. I would buy it again though and do recommend it to people with young children.
Since I couldn't find any previews of the actual story within the book, I probably shouldn't have bought it. However, being desparate to fill my "listen to reading" station in my classroom, I went ahead and bought this product. While it is a beautiful book with the classic "Over the Rainbow" song, I was hoping for more in the storyline. Instead, the book is just a bunch of illustrations to go along with the lyrics of the song, which doesn't contribute much learning. So, beware if you're looking for an educational book. However, if you want a book with just the lyrics to the song and a CD to go with, then this is the book for you. :)
We checked this book out of the library about two weeks ago, so we didn't listen to the CD. Instead, I just sang the text to my six-year-old son.The next morning, my son, without the book, starting making his own illustrations for Over the Rainbow. That was when I ordered him his own copy of this book.I am so in love with Eric Puybaret's gorgeous and whimsical illustrations -- I'm pretty sure that before long we will end up owning every book he has illustrated.
We learned about this book in a sound beginnings music class for kids under 4 yeArs old. The class has a soundtrack for the books narration/song that sings the words to you as you turn the pages. The illustrations create gorgeous imagery. We now use it every night at bed time and I hope it creates a great family tradition/memory our home. It is slightly disappointing that the cd that came with it doesn't match the narration exactly but the idea was great.
This is a lovely new twist to an old, beloved song. The illustrations are delightful and the performance of the song by Judy Collins is magically stirring.I'm using this book/recording in my music class at school to help my students see/hear things they already love in a whole new way.Linda in TexasOver the Rainbow (Book & Audio CD) (Book & CD)
Grandson goes to music events at the library and in play group so he is developing music listening skills....loves the Yarrow books and recorded music; he asks for it to be played every time he visits our house.
This is definitely a favorite among children and teachers and parents. The kids named the girl in the story Lemon drop. This has led to open ended conversations about Lemon Drop and the clouds and birds.....
