A bit odd, a song about dolphin magic-a little too poetice for a good kid's story.
The latest book in a series based on the songs of John Denver, Grandma's Feather Bed is one of the best. I particularly like to listen to the song along with the book. The illustrations match the song perfectly. I look forward to others in the series!
This picture book adaptation of John Denver's song Sunshine on My Shoulders, is a heartwarming adaptation of one of his best-loved songs. This song celebrates the simple things in life such as sunshine, being in nature, and loving relationships.
This book is very repetitious and has no real meaning. It alludes to drugs. However, the illustrations are well done.
