Julie Andrews' Collection of Poems, Songs, and Lullabies

Wonderful variety of poems from classics for all ages to recent originals, some by Julie Andrews and her daughter. Colorful illistrations enhance the reaing experience.

I have several poem collections and didn't know if this would offer much unique material, but I was pleasantly surprised. Julie Andrews publishes several poems here that have never been published before. I love the whole collection, too. It's one of my go-to books now for poetry when I'm in that "mood."

I bought this as a gift, but now I want to keep it :o) The book is organized into sections (Growing Up, Bedtime Blessings, Talk to the Animals...) with an introduction by Julie Andrews to each (perhaps my favorite part). This is a wonderful compilation of many classic poems, many of which I'd never read before, and many that I was already familiar with. Julie Andrews and Emma have also included a number of their own poems based of their life experiences. They will make you smile if you are a parent or child :o) The watercolor illustrations are also beautiful. Expose your children to all types of artwork and prose and read, read, read!

We love reading poetry in our home. My young children could listen for hours — as long as there is engaging artwork to enjoy along with! This collection is perfect: delightful poems, lush illustrations. One of my favorites to recommend!

What is not to like about Julie Andrews. This is an absolutely delightful collection of insightful, fun & informative poems & songs. And what a bonus to hear Julie & daughter recite poems alone/together on the included CD. Fun for the entire family! Highly recommend.

This book is a treasure. So many poems and writings remembered from childhood to present that were are remain favorites of mine. They are so wonderfully delivered by the writers. This book is a must have for children and adults one and all. Don't miss out on it. Truly...

Julie Andrews could read the want ads and make them sound exciting or soothing as a lullaby. She and her daughter have raised the level of my great love of nursery rhymes with their delightful choices for this book and their reading them for the CD. The illustrations are beautiful and add to the beauty of this wonderful book.

Julie Andrews' Collection of Poems, Songs and Lullabies is simply wonderful for the whole family!!!! I purchased 2 copies for Christmas presents for 2 of my friends who are pregnant and already have very young children. Imagine the number of hours parents can spend curling up with, reading to, and bonding with their children. Mary Poppins would have loved this book, too! The readings on the accompanying CD are icing on this literary piece of cake!

I absolutely love this book and am reading it to my 3-year-old daughter who is learning to love poetry too. The collection is miscellanious and has multi-levelled poems so that even my daughter enjoys many of them. There is also a cd that comes with the book, in which Julie Andrews and her daughter read some of the poems. The only sad note is that when I read the title (Poems, Songs and LULLABIES)I had thought the cd would have some singing as I am a huge fan of Andrews. However I highly recommend this book!

My wife is a huge fan of Julie so was thrilled to have this book of poems for her collection.It came on time and was so well packed.

Very god book...beautifully illustrated.......we are enjoying it with our grandchildren

Wonderful CD. Took ages to arrive but worth waiting for

... I bought this book for myself (a granny going to her 70th) to read it with my 5-year-old-granddaughter.Once a week we have GrannyDay - and we always have fun together; since a few days also with Julie's poems.She knows Dame Julie Andrews well ;o) - as MaryPoppins and from Julie's Greenroom - as well through her songs - whom I love to hear while car driving; for Example Sound of Music or Broadway Songs - some we try to sing along, she loves it - - and she loves Julie ...so am I.Comfortable delivery - the book + CD in very good condition - I'm very happy about it !!. Many Thanks.
