Book Review: My K-3rd grade music classes ADORE this book
Summary: 5 Stars
The watercolors are exquisite. My personal favorite is the dandelion-fluff page ("if I had a wish that I could wish for you"), but there are lots of subtle touches (the people in the illustrations resemble John Denver and his son, there is a shadow of the boy on the first page next to the ladybugs, and I can't tell you how many times we've stopped to admire the water ripples and the boat and the cats...).
The CD contains 2 songs: a round called "The Music is You" which makes a great intro (and the words are written in a circle, helping kids remember that the song is a round... get it?), and then "Sunshine on My Shoulders," which is probably a 1990's recording (I'm guessing around the time of the Wildlife Concert) with really great recording clarity, a sax solo that sort of adds a soothing-Kenny-G-influence, and Denver's voice matured to a mellow depth that will make you smile and cry all at once it is so beautiful. Probably one of my top 10 children's books, and I have a lot of them.
