This seems really dullsville at first because it's the same verse again and again about once there was a this and once there was a that and the that and the this went to sleep, but then it turns out that's exactly the level of stimulation v. repetition a sleepy toddler needs, exactly the shifting patterns. It's the ambient music of children's books. ( )

Ugh. Extremely boring and repetitive. Whatever child enjoys this must have the intelligence of a watermelon. Reading this to them will not increase that intelligence, either. It includes the sheet music, so I gave it a bonus half-star. The illustrations are pretty ugly, too. ( )
