Query: I've been to the mountaintop...thanks to this great book!

This is my favorite book/recording combination of all! When my son was born five years ago, I wanted a change of pace from Mother Goose, and these poems sure did the trick! The recording is superior, folksy and fun without being annoying like some children's tapes I've heard, lots of great fiddling. I still remember and sing these poems, songs and riddles to my son, five years later, made so memorable by the great tape. The illustrations are really well-suited to the text, pen-and-ink and watercolor, as homey as a haystack. A lot of love and respect for the Appalachian region went into this project, it's apparent, and whoever reads and listens to this set will find themselves sharing in that love. My family treasures this book and tape in our children's collection, and I bet you will, too!
