(3) PS Illustrated by Terry Widener. Yarrow continues his foray into Raffi territory with lyrics to twelve songs for the youngest singers. His choices include some usual suspects, but for each "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" and "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" there's a "Lavender Blue." The chords and history of the songs are included, along with a CD of Yarrow singing them. Widener's acrylics are as thoughtful as ever.

Peter, Paul, and Mary's Peter Yarrow follows his anthologies of lullabies and folk songs with this collection of kid-friendly tunes to be sung in groups ("Down by the Riverside," "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt," etc.). Widener's acrylics distill the various moods summoned by the songs' lyrics. Guitar chords and brief histories of the selections, plus a CD of Yarrow singing them, are included.

(3) PS Illustrated by Terry Widener. The Peter, Paul, and Mary member offers two well-compiled song anthologies, each of which contains a dozen child-friendly classics ("Puff, the Magic Dragon," "Ole Blue," "Kumbaya"). Widener's sumptuous acrylics will speak both to kids and to adults hip to the songs' oft-political subtexts. Each book includes lyrics, chords, and song histories, and comes with a CD of Yarrow singing the tunes. Review covers these titles: The Peter Yarrow Songbook: Favorite Folk Songs and The Peter Yarrow Songbook: Sleepytime Songs.
