HUSH BABY HUSH!

A book of traditional lullabies with a difference. Gathered from all over the world, these beautiful, simple songs give a flavour of different parts of the world as well as showing that soothing a baby to sleep is the same the world over. With words in the original language plus the English version, together with a melody line and delightful illustrations by Pam Smy, this is the perfect gift book for parents of new babies.

The lullabies come from:

Australia (Aboriginal) Austria Bangladesh Brazil Czech Republic
England France Greece Greenland Hungary India Iran Iraq Italy
Jamaica Japan Korea Malawi Mexico Nigeria Norway Russia Spain
Turkey USA (Hopi) Wales West Africa (Yoruba).
