Thank YOU for your wonderful lullabies.  We're passing on the joy that we got from this collection of songs to a new mother in Albuquerque.  Sixteen years after first listening to these songs, my husband and I are still singing "The first train bound to Dreamland...". 

Sincerely, Chris

I just want to let you know how much my family has enjoyed " Songs from Dreamland" .   Our son, Michele, was given the book and tape 18
years ago.  We read the poems and played the tape every night as part of his bedtime routine.   My husband always recounts how he would find himself singing or humming your music throughout his day at work.  

Years later, the tape was loaned to a relative and lost.   I was heartbroken at the loss of something that had been so dear and important to our family.   For years I have bemoaned the loss. 

With the coming birth of my grandnephew I could think of no better gift to give him and his parents then the joy of "Songs from Dreamland".   This spurred me to search the internet and I was overjoyed that the book and music were still available.   As you know not only did I order a set for my future grandnephew but I also ordered a CD for ourselves.  I am looking forward to hearing those soothing melodies once again.   Though after 18 years  they may serve as lullabies for my husband and I.  

Once again thank you for the joyous memories you have given my family.

Sincerely, Carolyn

Ms. Duncan, My grandmother - Laura Beers-sent my daughter Laura your "Songs from Dreamland" when she was a toddler. She called it her "sleepy dream tape" and it was a bedtime ritual for us both. Now, she has a little one of her own and wants to continue the tradition. Thank you and Robin for many years of peaceful bedtimes & many more with my grandchildren.

Sincerely, Margaret Rose Collins

I used your lullaby tape when my daughter was a baby, almost 14 years ago. She was a tough cookie to get to sleep and using your lovely music did the trick. But, I would have to play it twice before she was fast asleep. When she could talk, and when the tape was over, she would yell out, "MORE!" And I would have to turn it over. I am happy that your music is still being made and that you are doing well. My daughter heard the clips of the songs and remembered them from way down deep.

Thanks, Laurie Strome Moodie

Thank you for great music and such a perfect voice. We first were exposed to your music when I checked a tape out our local library in the mid 1990s. Each time (except one) I went back, the tape was gone, but I remembered the name! My current 11 year old loved the music (as did her parents) then and our 4 year old can now listen to it because I found your CD on the web. I hope that you have done well - you have a wonderful gift.

Perfect!, January 18, 2003 Reviewer: Mary Orton Gollihugh from North East, PA United States I saw this at a school book sale while I was pregnant with our last child. We ended up buying a second because we wore the cassette out. This refers to the book and cassette combination. With our new (13 years old now!) baby, it became a part of our evening routines, the stories read, the songs listened to, and it was peaceful. I still recall how it started: a soft wind blowing through the breeze, and a lovely voice soeaking quietly "It's bedime now. You've played hard today and I know you must be tired ...". It was a point of amusement that we figured if we ever accidentally put the tape in the car and played it we would fall asleep at the wheel within 20 seconds (grin) Truly, I most highly recommend this, and the memories will last a lifetime. A kindred Mom, soon to be a Grandmother!

Best Lullaby Book and Tape Ever!, November 3, 2002 Reviewer: Anita Wells from Watervliet, NY United States I bought this set for my first grandchild twelve years ago and it was loved by all of my grandchildren, as well as my daughters. The music, the lyrics and the illustrations are so beautiful. Definitely first class. Would love to see a new release of this.

A reader from Dublin, CA United States This is the most beautiful, enchanting tape of lullabies I have ever heard. Lois Duncan (yes, of I Know What You Did Last Summer fame) wrote the exquisite lyrics for the tape that accompanies this book when her grandchild was born. Her daughter is actually the singer. I have never found a collection of lullabies to equal this one.
