James McMullan.
Andrews and her daughter share nearly one-hundred fifty favorite works in this collection (with accompanying CD). Many of the songs are from musicals; poems range from classic (Shakespeare, A. A. Milne) to contemporary (Jack Prelutsky, Nikki Grimes) and even include a few of Andrews's and Hamilton's own pieces. Lavishly illustrated with watercolors, this heartfelt volume will surely be popular as a read-aloud.
