My Favorite Things by Oscar
Hammerstein Ii
Love It!
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. Hoffmans 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
Personal Review: My Favorite Things by Oscar Hammerstein Ii
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.
