5 STAR REVIEW: There is nothing more soothing than a comforting lullaby. The gentle lyrics, often set to a simple tune, have lulled infants to sleep for centuries. Author and poet J.R. Poulter demonstrates the continuing tradition of lyrical lullabies in her delightful little treasure, The Boat to Lullaby Bay. Accompanied by colourful and soothing illustrations by artist Niki Leonidou, this book makes an excellent bedtime storybook to lull young children to sleep and to dream happy dreams. A beautiful book in both words and illustrations. Well done!" Reviewed By EMILY-JANE HILLS ORFORD, (award-winning author, Masters degree, teacher of creative writing), for Readers' Favorite; EDUCATOR REVIEW: "The Boat to Lullaby Bay" is a wonderful introduction to the world of poems and lullabies including beautiful illustrations that are sure to delight parents and children.
