Much Like the artwork in “Singing in the Rain”, Tim Hopgood offers illustrations that are very attractive and joyful in his rendition of “Moon River”.    Children may not be acquainted with the lyrics but will soon learn to sing along as they turn one captivating page after another in this dreamy picture book.

Preschoolers and young primary grade students may be lulled to sleep by the sensation of slow movement as the night sky darkens.  Each page exposes the dream state brought on by soothing words. and various shades of blue.   Musical notes accompany the drifters as they visit nationally recognized sites all over the world.

Consider adding to library collections and share with music and art teachers.
