"Dream a dream of far away, and up and over the moon!"  This stellar recording contains an imaginative collection of traditional and original songs including themes such as animals, playtime, things in the house, and the night-time sky. The CD comes with a booklet of lyrics and actions.
Debbie Carroll, along with producer Ken Whiteley-  well-known for his work with Raffi, Fred Penner, Al Simmons and Kathy Reid-Naiman -  have incorporated the influences of gospel, Cajun, Appalachian, Celtic and world music into this wonderful CD. The result is a toe-tapping, sing-along, rockabye collection which is beautifully childlike, and which will be enjoyed again and again by the very young and their grownups alike!

Reviews
"Up and Over the Moon!….is that rare treasure: a compilation that is specifically for the littlest people but so beautifully executed that grown-ups will love it too."  Spring/Summer Today's Parent - 2005
 
"This jewel of a record is just so well done, it merits attention. And good work simply grows on you.... All in all, a worthy collection for families looking for some special, repeated listening times." 
Eric Thom    
 
“One of the most difficult challenges in songwriting is to create a new song that has that feeling of well-worn and comfortable familiarity that so many old folk songs possess.  This wonderful collection of old and old-feeling new songs is perfect for young children and their families.  Debbie Carroll and her musical friends have created a thoroughly charming listening experience featuring clear and sweet singing in the best folk tradition, with an engaging variety of instrumental accompaniments produced by the versatile Ken Whiteley.  Up and Over the Moon! clearly belongs in the company of the finest folk recordings for young children in North America.”    
BRAM MORRISON (of Sharon, Bram and Friends)
