Reviews for Tomorrow is a Chance to Start Over

[suedleatherman · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

The book tells a sweet story in rhyming verse form about two young children who have difficulty sleeping in the noisy world of the city. The children decide to take their boat and sail away to a quieter place. Floating across the sea, lit by a "moon-kissed sky," they eventually arrive at a special land filled with twisty trails, bubbling rivers, and colorful trees. It's a dreamlike place where wishes are made and the children take flight.The music cd which accompanies the story book is remarkable. It begins with Ms. Grist's narration guided by her wonderful song, "Tomorrow is a Chance to Start Over." Eight additional songs fill the air with gently floating melodies.This peaceful bedtime treasure will carry any child and even adults towards a contented and satisfying sleep.I received this book set in exchange for a review.
