The description of the watercolors and the song made me think that artists would also be drawn by this book. To share with their children or simply just appreciate it for its own merits. Definitely a great review. :tiphat:

This seems like a book that children will have fun with, especially with the rhyme schemes in the songs. I would like to know if there are any moral lessons to the stories told in the book though, as I consider this to be a very important aspect of children's book. Great review.

It seems like a great book for kids. As usual, they'll love the nursery-rhyme-like song provided. Thanks for the review.

The enthusiasm in this review is very noteworthy; it must have been quite an experience to read the book. I've never really read a book with a song playing, so I don't have a clear picture how that works, but it sure sounds like fun! Thanks for the awesome review.

Woah, the author breathes new life into a classic American Folk Song! I read good reviews about this book and they said that it's like a new multimedia experience. I'll give this a shot. Thanks for the review.

Thanks for the enthralling and well-written review. It is good to see that the book also includes a lesson for how the songs will be sung. I need to read this book.

I have read the story of the book WALK SHEPHERDESS, WALK BY BARRET COBB. This is a book in which the color and art work has been described. The images, the pictures and the artwork is an act which is attractive for the readers towards this book.

Thanks CataclysmicKnight for giving us a comprehensive review of the quality of songs composed for the sing-along book, Walk Shepherdess, Walk by Barrett Cobb, which has text, songs and illustrations in one book. This is going to be a wonderful gift to any child. You have been able to convey how the songs touched you and explain the musical stylings of the composer. You did not dwell much on the lessons to be learned from the book, allowing the readers to decide. Life is wonderful. You go out one day to look for sheep and find other wonderful things.
