This famous song from the opera has been transformed into a lushly illustrated picture book. The book casts a nostalgic look back at a simpler time when good hammocks or swimming holes were tickets to a peaceful summer's day--a far cry from the original context of the song. The melody line and guitar chords are included on the final page.
