"We accidentally came upon this CD in a children's specialty store. This CD is so entertaining, it is almost unfair to categorize it only as a "children's CD". We play it frequently, and we don't even have children."
40 Stinks!

"This CD is WAY too upbeat for a bedtime CD. The music all has a fast tempo and the singers voices comes over the music was too loud. My child would not sleep! I'm going back to the Celtic Lullaby CD that I was using before. I would not recommend this CD for bedtime."
I give this CD to all my new-parent friends.

"I strongly disagree with the "music fan from Philadelphia." My eleven-month old daughter absolutely LOVES 40 Winks. We listen to it every night before bedtime and have done so since she was two months old. It always calms her down. As for connecting with the music, I can see and feel her respond to the soothing sounds. And I know she adores another one of Jessica Harper's CDs, Nora's Room, b/c my daughter kicks in delight whenever I put it on. It has entertained her through many car rides and kept her happy at home on countless afternoons. Although she is too young to understand the lyrics, she clearly enjoys the music. I highly, highly recommend both 40 Winks and Nora's Room to all parents."
Great for slowing down the tempo of the day

"Love it! Our children request it at the end of the day. It is terrific for soothing a parent's mood as well as a child's. I often find myself singing the songs while going about my day. Extremely creative music - the kind I love exposing my children to. Clever. Delightful. Catchy. Dreamy. Sentimental. Top-Notch."
