Lullaby

PreS-Gr 2—Grammy-nominated children's singer/songwriter Justin Roberts returns with an album devoted to the most gentle of songs—lullabies. These aren't your grandmother's lullabies though. Featuring rich melodies performed by musicians from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, these ten original compositions will capture the heart and sooth the mind after a busy day of play. Roberts's voice beautifully combines with strings and a variety of other instruments such as the French horn and oboe to create a serene atmosphere. Many of the lovely lyrics refer to the sky, the moon, the stars, and the soothing thought of cradling the listener all night through. Parents will want to give their children big hugs and cuddles while tucking them in after listening to this wonderful album. A must have for every collection.—Veronica De Fazio, Plainfield Public Library District, IL
