"ISBN 0894712616 - The fact that this looks, from the outside, like a cute little book is due almost entirely to the cover design by Toby Schmidt. The illustrations inside, by Geri Greinke bear no resemblance whatsoever to the cover and are, overall, pretty bad. The inside illustrations look a bit like a cross between antique wood-cut works and collector plates. They are one color - blue - and, although they have some great detail, they couldn't possibly be more boring.
The text consists of a dozen lullabies: All Through the Night, Baa! Baa! Black Sheep, Beautiful Dreamer, Greensleeves, Hush Little Baby, London Bridge is Falling Down, Lullaby and Good Night (Brahms' Lullaby/The Cradle Song), My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean, Rock-a-Bye Baby, Shenandoah, Swing Low Sweet Chariot, and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
The Table of Contents lists the lullabies in alphabetical order rather than the more traditional order you'd expect in a book. The lullabies themselves contain verses I've never heard before, which is both interesting and weird. The selection of lullabies stretches the definition for me - Greensleeves is considered a folk song (possibly about a prostitute), as is Shenandoah; Swing Low, Sweet Chariot is categorized as an American Negro spiritual. There are much better lullaby compilations out there.
