“Baby sail the seven seas
Safely in my arms
When the waves go up and down
You are safe from harm.”

My Thoughts:
This book is one of those books that you will treasure for years... even after your children grow up. You will look back on it with tears in your eyes as you remember looking at the gorgeous illustrations and reading the beautiful words of Margaret Wise Brown with your children.

I sat down with my two little ones and we turned page by page and found a completely different tale... a completely different picture... and we couldn't stop turning the pages. Each page brought about different emotions through the words and the pictures. It is truly a unique and amazing collection. Something for children and their parents to share and enjoy together.

My family is really enjoying this book. My daughter already has her favorite poems that she wants read to her again and again. We have enjoyed laying in bed and listening to the beautiful CD together. There is just so much to offer in one book. It's a treasure.
