"This is our 3rd copy, we purchased the first one a couple of years ago based on a friend's suggestion and have played it almost every evening since. The other night our 3 year old was having a time going to sleep - I put the music on, helped her to bed, said a short prayer with her and she was asleep before the end of the 2nd song smile :). The next morning she said: "I didn't have any bad dreams daddy". That's because Jesus was with you."
"Each song's lyrics is based upon Scriptural truths, (although the 4th song, "Precious Life" is an instrumental only, still very pleasant). As an aside, (since I had mentioned in this review I was looking for MP3 KJV verses earlier), I also found, KJV Old Testament - King James Version (Dramatized) and KJV New Testament - King James Version (Dramatized) which are (as of this writing) offered for free."
"It's hard to find Scripture songs that don't get kids excited, and these are perfect for soothing anxious kids.The music is peaceful, pleasant, and beautiful."
"I purchased this cd to play for my toddler grandson to listen to when he is going to sleep."
"I ended up buying a whole bunch for Christmas gifts and as everyday gifts to friends and family in need of comfort."
"I have purchased a few of these wonderful cds for myself and for Christmas and baby shower gifts."
In the tradition of Volume I, this collection of songs weaves Scripture into powerfully peaceful music for any age. Baby shower Christening gift Baby dedication gift Sleep CD for babies Sleep CD and peace for your home.

"Perfect for preparing for a quiet time of devotion and prayer, or to set a calm mood when things are chaotic."
"My children love having these playing while they sleep."
"The music is perfect for helping my 2 year old and 2 month old fall asleep."
"We are reading/meditating upon 3 sections of Psalm 139 and the songs "Still Small Voice" and "Wonderfully Made" are perfect for quieting our souls for the next 2 sections."
"We listen to Vol."
"It just seems yo be a little more relaxing to go to sleep."
"I ‘stumbled’ on this when looking for a sweet lullaby for our 6 yr old granddaughter, but wanted to listen to it first."
I can still see Crosby's face as a little one begging me for "more, Daddy, more, more" of "Winnie The Pooh" (as he called it), or rocking Cody to "To-Ra-Loo-Ra" (if he didn't fall asleep before we made it to his bedroom). The appeal of this album isn't limited to children--though the gentle repertoire and soft acoustic musical accompaniment will surely soothe little ones at the end of a long day, adults will find the silky-smooth vocals, beautiful harmonies, and creative production just as engaging. And with titles like the traditional "All the Pretty Little Ponies" and "To-Ra-Loo-Ra" and covers of Paul Williams's "Rainbow Connection," Jimmy Webb's "The Last Unicorn," and John Lennon's "Love," Mom might find herself borrowing this CD from the nursery when it comes time to kick back and relax after the kids are asleep.

"Return to Pooh Corner captures so much of the sweetness & happiness that should be a part of every baby & little kid's childhood. When I attend a baby shower I always make sure Return to Pooh Corner is a part of the new mother's gift."
"My son is in middle school now (as of this writing), but I remember the days when he was in his crib and when we were trying to get him to sleep at night or back to sleep overnight---and this music was absolutely perfect for the moments."
":). I bought this back in 2000 to play for my class for naptime and it worked wonderfully! Unicorns is the popular consensus lol. Buy it, you wont regret it."
"Remember back to the time when you thought all things were possible and the responsibilities of being an adult did not weigh heavily on your mind - go ahead escape for awhile!"
"I love this cd."
"I searched here for the best-reviewed lullaby cd and this one was in the top spot, so I bought it with high hopes. I've been playing the album for several days now, and this is the only thing that consistently works to ease her to sleep. His plans for an evening spent reading were thwarted by this album playing softly in the background."
"I have long since lost my CD, but am glad I was able to purchase the electronic version."

Find Best Price at Amazon"As a 30-something who grew up in the age of the Disney Renaissance of the 1990s and had (still has) a collection of all the original Walt Disney classics, I can be hard to convince in this age of CGI...but "Moana" is perfection...and so is the soundtrack. I'm not a big "Hamilton" fan, but I can appreciate Miranda's considerable talent - and it shines in this soundtrack. No, it doesn't "sound" like the rest of the soundtrack - but who says it's supposed to?"
"Her father is the village chief and she feels drawn to the ocean that surrounds their beautiful, tropical Polynesian island of Motunui. If you purchase the audio CD version, the lyrics are listed inside the booklet, along with the character who sings them. Some of the songs are energetic and full of adventure whereas others reflect the darker tone when Moana and Maui are faced with their main task. Auli'i Cravalho has a beautiful voice and does an amazing job with all of the songs, my favorite being "How Far I'll Go," which can be heard multiple times on the soundtrack. The score is a lot of fun too and we enjoy figuring out which part of the movie the current song is from."
"If the music isn't stuck in your head yet from your kids constantly watching and rewatching the movie, it will be by the time you're done listening to this in the car for the tenth time."
"I purchased this so my daughter could listen to the soundtrack on our Echo since she loves the movie."
"We leave this in my car every day and my kids want to listen to it every time we get into the car."
"Not neccessarily my favorite, but my two four year old grandaughters love it."
"I bought it shortly after seeing the movie for the first time and have been listening to it non stop."
"Daughter loves the movie and singing all the songs."
