Lullabyes Edit: I really had to add a note about our new Spring 2008 release of Celtic Dreamland from my Barefoot Books website! Talk about beautiful music; this is perfect for drifting off to sleep with the sounds of Celtic Europe! (Putumayo Kids @ Barefoot Books $15.99)
Today is just a quick little note for those new mommies who need some ideas for Lullabyes and for those with pre-k little ones that would love new bedtime stories.
