This collection of classic children's poetry, adapted to music by Natalie Merchant, opens the door to a wondrous world filled with witches and fearless girls, blind men and elephants, giants and sailors and dancing bears. Leave Your Sleep features a daring and delightful selection, ranging from the beloved (e.e. cummings, Edward Lear, and Jack Prelutsky) to the undiscovered (the young Nathalia Crane). Natalie Merchant's brilliant musical renderings, selected from her highly praised album, share the stage with Barbara McClintock's richly imagined art to create a memorable reading, looking, and listening experience.

I loved the illustrations in this poetry book. The Illustrations by Barbara McClintock are charming and the music cd by Natalie Merchant plays in our bookstore all the time! Great choice as a new baby gift.
My wife gave me this for Chrstimas present a couple of years ago. A wonderful collection of classic and modern verse set to music that is beautifully performed.
