This book made me laugh right out loud. The illustrations portray a baby that simply will not stop crying, and a family at their wit's end. The older sister is dealing with jealosy of a new child, but a great bit of frustrations as well because this baby just will not shut up. The illustrations show parents trying their best, and solidying the furtrations of their older daughter as well.

This is an old folk song, and the author, also the illustrator, does an incredible job. Each two-page spread has highly original illustrations.

Fortunately, in the end, it is the sister who is responsible for finally making the baby go to sleep and be silent. ( )

This is a family favorite, the story told by the illustrations is priceless. ( )

A cute way to teach the song through pictures, but that is about it. I also had no idea the song was that long, and kind of obscure. ( )

I love that this classic folk song is brought to life by my favorite illustrator's work. It gives the song so much more meaning, and I love this book for a folktale/folk song unit! ( )
