Words and music for thirty-seven of the most beloved traditional lullabies are gathered in this lavishly illustrated songbook. From the enduring "Rock-a-Bye Baby" to the winsome "Brahms' Lullaby" to the amusing "Little Boy Blue," each song is thoughtfully matched with works of art from the Metropolitan Museum's vast collections. Paintings by Vincent van Gogh and Mary Cassatt, a photograph by Eliot Porter of his infant son, and an Eskimo stonecarving of a mother and child are among the many works that grace the pages of this stunning book.
