I listened to it this morning on my way to work - singing along. It's fabulous Kathy - as I knew it would be. Love your rendition of "Over in the Meadow" and I think the mix of rhymes and songs is just perfect !!! There couldn't be a nicer little present for every new baby in BC than your CD and the new Mother Goose board book. Thanks SO much for working with us on this project"
