Sweet Dreams, My Little Ones
with a 60 minute Go-to-Sleep CD for children of all ages
(in the book: 36 poems, 36 musical settings, 25 pictures to color)

Listening to music at bedtime can help little ones to quiet down, relax, and be ready to fall asleep. A regular nightly routine at bedtime adds to the security a child feels, and high quality music will be a positive addition to the routine. This is not a CD of nursery rhymes; it has more value than that. Rather than mere infant entertainment, the poems and music here will benefit babies, as well as youngsters through early and middle childhood, and beyond.

A valuable feature of the CD (and book) is the gently instructive quality of many of the texts. Included are poems which help children recognize themselves as cooperative and friendly members of society, and as loved children of God. Through imagery and prayer they are encouraged to develop a good base of values for their perspectives and behavior patterns. The ideas they learn from these poems, which are taken from classic as well as newly written sources, will help broaden their view of their world, and can help them become responsible citizens in it.

The 60minute CD is found on the inside back cover of the book.
