This book was a lot better than I expected it to be when I spotted it and thought, "Judy Collins . . . That Judy Collins?" Yes, it's that Judy Collins, whose beautiful voice (and eyes!) I remembered from my childhood, but whose life and continuing career I hadn't followed at all. Cravings is quite a lively and frank tour through both dieting history in general and Collins' own experiences with alcoholism and bulimia (among other problems) in particular. Yes, there's some name-dropping and a bit of out-there stuff that borders on being flaky, but the woman has gotten it together, seems quite vital and healthy at 78, and her insights are often good. Whether I, or anyone else, would want to follow to the letter her stringent dietary solution to her food woes is another question, but her basic conclusions about what to eat (protein, veggies, a little fruit) and not to eat (sugar, flour, junk) are solid, and consistent with what seems to be the growing consensus today.… (mais)

“Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue, and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true. Someday I’ll wish upon a star . . . .”

The Academy Award-winning song, “Over the Rainbow,” published in 1939 and immortalized by Judy Garland in “The Wizard of Oz,” was written for the film. In 2003, the American Film Institute voted the timeless tune the number one movie song of all time. In addition, the Recording Industry Association of America and the National Endowment for the Arts named it the number one “Song of the Century.”

This beautiful picture book illustrates the Harold Arlen-Edgar Yipsel Harburg song that Judy Garland sang in the MGM film. It includes the seldom-heard [and not used in the film] introductory verse and an accompanying CD features songstress Judy Collins singing the song. [Two other songs, “White Choral Bells” and “I See the Moon” are also included on the CD.]

The hauntingly-beautiful illustrations, created by illustrator Eric Puybaret, are acrylic on linen. The exquisite pictures create a fantasy world perfect for the evocative tune.

This is a book for children of all ages; readers who know the words to the song will still find much to appreciate here; for those new to the song, this is a journey into a lovely fantasy world of joy and hope.

Highly recommended.… (mais)
