Music Monday-Catch The Moon

I will conclude the Month-O-Elizabeth Mitchell with the darling album and board book: Catch The Moon (yes, that's right, a 2-for-1). This album is not only an Elizabeth Mitchell album but was a combination effort with the lovely Lisa Loeb.


 

Catch the Moon is a dreamy board book about two little girls, Ruby West and Ella Jane, playing with the moon: "...They send the star and moon back home And dream by star moon light." With night-time water color  illustrations by Elizabeth Mitchell's mother this is a great book to add to your bed-time collection. The following link from Elizabeth Mitchell's website allows you to read the book on the web http://www.youaremyflower.org/ctm/index.html

Several familiar songs such as Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Big Rock Candy Mountain, and Little Red Caboose are included among the 13 sweet songs on this album. The complete list of delightful songs on this album are: Big Rock Candy Mountain, Little Red Caboose, Oh Susanna, Catch the Moon, La Manita, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Stop and Go, New Morning, Oh Groundhog, Butterfly, Donguri/Rolling Acorn, Free Little Bird, and Fais Do Do.




Finally, the following links are to videos with Lisa and Elizabeth singing songs from this album:
