The Peter Yarrow Songbook: Favorite Folk Songs

(3) PS Illustrated by Terry Widener. The Peter, Paul, and Mary member offers two well-compiled song anthologies, each of which contains a dozen child-friendly classics ("Puff, the Magic Dragon," "Ole Blue," "Kumbaya"). Widener's sumptuous acrylics will speak both to kids and to adults hip to the songs' oft-political subtexts. Each book includes lyrics, chords, and song histories, and comes with a CD of Yarrow singing the tunes. Review covers these titles: The Peter Yarrow Songbook: Favorite Folk Songs and The Peter Yarrow Songbook: Sleepytime Songs.
