sparklelys's review against another edition
The tap-dance icon Gregory Hines once made a movie, Tap, about taking the sounds of the world around you -- the creaks of the house, the noise of the wind, the traffic on the street -- and making music of it. Timbaland steps into that groove and charms a lullabye out of it.

A good book for storytimes about rain, sleep, or rhyming. This book has large pictures with rich colors that make it perfect for sharing at a storytime. It could work for toddler time as well, but it is a little long. There are good places for movement and participation. This book features a black dad and son, so it can be used to make sure everyone feels welcome at storytime. It does feature angels but there is nothing specifically religious about the text.

This was my second read through of this book. I'm glad I brought it home with me in the midst of all this social distancing, because I am finding myself giving it a higher rating than I would have initially given it.
Music and rhythm can be found anywhere and in this case, it can be found in the city during a storm. The lightning and thunder, the water rushing down the gutters and in the roadways. It's a great look into city life than some readers have never experienced.
Christopher Myers is the illustrator and his credibility helps Timbaland's offering fare well. As you all know, I can struggle with celebrity written books ;)

Read on Libby
It has a great illustration. The lyrics or the text is beautiful. It is a heartwarming book, yet i don't feel a thing. So so.

Lovely text, lovely illustrations. There is one very slant rhyme in the middle (little one rhymed with musicians) that sticks in my craw a bit, but overall tremendously readable and vibrant.

This is the story of a boy afraid of a thunderstorm and his dad's reassurance that he will be safe. It was not a favorite with my young readers.
