Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
A Treasury of Children's Songs: Forty Favorites to Sing and Play pairs classic songs arranged and edited by Dan Fox with works of art from the Metropolitan Museum's collections. "Eensy Weensy Spider" is paired with a detail showing a spider from Flowers and Birds, a Japanese painting on silk by Taki Katei. "Home on the Range" is accompanied by an oil painting, The Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak by Albert Bierstadt. Each entry also includes musical and artistic notation. (Oct.) Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 5-A beautifully produced abridgment of Go in and out the Window (Holt, 1987), which included 61 selections. These 40 songs appeared in that collection with the exact musical annotation and, at times, matched with the same paintings. As in Go in, there is commentary on the art chosen to illustrate each piece. The selections include classic folksongs such as "Red River Valley," "Home on the Range," and "Shenandoah," as well as childhood favorites such as "London Bridge," "Lazy Mary," and "The Mulberry Bush." The art on the front cover and typeface, as attractive and lavish as in the first book, suggest a younger audience. While Treasury is not an essential purchase for libraries that own the earlier title, it's a lovely addition for larger collections, especially those with wide and varied music sections.-Jane Marino, Bronxville Public Library, NY Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
