Amazon.com Review:
Who can resist feeling cheerful when envisioning Julie Andrews singing 'My Favorite Things' to her young charges in The Sound of Music? In fact, this song by the incredibly successful, award-winning (34 Tony Awards, 15 Academy Awards, 2 Pulitzer Prizes, 2 Grammy Awards, and an Emmy Award) musical team of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II has become as familiar as any nursery rhyme to many children during the more than 40 years since it was written. And now, with the warm, cozy illustrations by Renée Graef (illustrator of E.T.A. Hoffman's The Nutcracker, adapted by Janet Schulman), children can enjoy the delicious images and lilting notes of the classic song any time. Each illustration is framed with a folksy rustic border, and portrays a happy family in an idyllic rural setting enjoying 'raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens' and 'doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles' all year round. And if the raindrops on roses look ever so faintly like aphids, well, the 'bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens' on the following page should more than make up for it. Naturally, the book comes complete with the score of 'My Favorite Things,' so families can sing or play along to their hearts' content. (Ages 4 to 8) --Emilie Coulter

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Beautiful illustrations for such a sweet song
At 2 years old, my daughter has learned all the words to this song because of this book. She loves it! Her favorite page is "when the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feeling sad". It captivates her attention for the whole song. It's a keeper!
Rating: - Love IT!
My 6 yr old daughter loves this book! Even with my terrible singing, she loves the song, the words and the wonderful illustrations.
Rating: - Child's Favorite Book!
This was my favorite song when I was a little girl so when I saw this book, I knew I had to have it! It has now become my 5 year old daughter's favorite book and she asks (or should I say demands) me to read it to her every night. She knows all the words and sings along as we look at the beautifully illustrated pictures. This book even has the sheet music at the back of the book! I highly recommend purchasing this item.
Rating: - My favorite things
I'm an infant/toddler childcare teacher. My Favorite Things, is a beautifully illustrated book. It captures the wonder and sweetness of one of the best songs in the move, "The Sound of Music". I sing this book to my little ones. It captures their attention better than reading it.
Rating: - My girls & I all LOVE this book they are 2 & 4 and I am 38!
Illustrations are like soft memories and evoke warm thoughts of childhood and this song. I believe this book works VERY well for young and older children. I love the sublty of imagery in clouds at end of book when children are staring up at sky imagining "favorite things". Both my two and 4 year old can sing this song now. Words and music are included in back to make this a BONUS for anyone musically inclined. A must have for anyone who likes the song!
