Poems to Music

Last night Fee brought home the new Natalie Merchant CD, Leaving Sleep--a lovely compilation of children's poems that she put to music.  It is full of fun, delightful songs from (mostly) little known poems for children.  There is also a little book that accompanies the CD with a short biography of each poet and the poems themselves.  Take a listen to The King of China's Daughter or Bleezer's Ice Cream!  Such fun!  Thanks, Fee!
