Ancient Rhymes: A Dolphin Lullaby [With CD]

As a school librarian, I have used this with kindergarten classes, special education students, and an autistic class. The soothing music and beautiful pictures of the dolphins and other sea life held the children's attention. Not often do classes clap in appreciation for a book at its conclusion!

This book and CD are absolutely beautiful. I recently gave it to my godson at his christening - I also sang the song during the ceremony. The pictures are so inspired and match John Denver's words just perfectly. Thank you for gifting us with such a treasure, I'm going to have to order another one for my book shelf too.

It is a wonderful book and the illustrations are great. We had Christopher Canyon at our school. It also has a CD with it and it is great also.

Deftly adapted and beautifully illustrated by Christopher Canyon, Ancient Rhymes: A Dolphin's Lullaby showcases singer/songwriter John Denver's song "Ancient Rhymes" which he composed in 1991 after the experience of swimming with dolphins. Also available in a hardcover edition (158469064X, $19.95) which includes an accompanying CD and Score, Ancient Rhymes: A Dolphin's Lullaby is confidently recommended to the attention of school and community librarians, and anyone of any age who admires John Denver's music or who has ever wanted to swim with the dolphins themselves!

Ancient Rhymes is a beautiful book, based on the wonderful words of Bob Samples and sung by John Denver. Christopher Canyon has done a superb job with the illustrations and it is a wonderful way to bring the songs of John Denver to the next generation. Thank you Christopher Canyon, Bob Samples and John Denver for this wonderful book
