This is a delightful collection of traditional lullabies and nursery rhymes from around the world. Many of them are printed in the original language alongside the English translation which should broaden the appeal of the book and make it a valuable tool in the multi-cultural classroom. Moxley's warm, tactile oil crayon-like illustrations exude an air of innocence and naivety.
