Sounds interesting and the song is an easy way for the kid to memorize and understand words easily. Thanks for this captivating and in-depth review.

This sounds like such a fun book for kids and adults. Music included in a story really makes it stick for kids, and it makes it really enjoyable.

As this is a book for children, I don't think I would be interested in reading it.

The reviewer unfolds the mystery of life in the 'Official Review: Walk Shepherdess, Walk by Barrett Cobb'. He lays equal stress on every area of the book. The lyrical part of the book has been described well! Growing children will find the story of looking out for the lost sheep useful!

I'm astonished by all the ingredients that this book contains: folk song, the artwork that explains the verses, songbirds, piano, flute, inspiring words, musical culture, and an educative message for kids on how it's all about the journey and the present time. Your review is extremely enthusiastic and points out many aspects that drive me to have this book now. Thank you!

I like the plot based on some songs the author treasures. The reference to “lambs” and “shepherd” makes it a wholesome book for the children. Thanks for the review.

This is without a doubt a very good book for children. The song, stories and the watercolour aspects make it exceptionally good for kids.

This tale, which is derived from American folklore, narrates a shepherdess's search for three lost sheep. The author's presentation is candid, punctuated with a song which is available on her website.

A kid's books following the adventure of a shepherdess and her friend sounds interesting and it has a great premise. This seems to be the most comprehensive children's book I've come across here.

This looks like a very special read. A book that goes beyond well put together illustrations, interesting songs to sound nuggets and personalised wisdom.
A good addition to an eclectic library. Congrats to the author on #BOTD and kudos on the labour of love - because this is what this book simply is.

This sounds like a great children's book, especially for those who are musically inclined. If the illustrations are of the same quality as the one on the cover, those have to be beautiful as well. I love old folk songs and nursery rhymes, so I might even read this just for the fun of it despite not having any kids yet. Thank you for the helpful review.
