The Peter Yarrow Songbook by Peter Yarrow

The Peter Yarrow Songbook by Peter Yarrow

Lively, warm and friendly, this illustrated collection - plus a CD with Peter Yarrow, his daughter Bethany and cellist Rufus Cappadocia - will bring families together to read and to sing. Peter makes every tune sound fresh and irresistible and Terry Widener's appealing pictures capture the spirit of each song, from the wild waves and rocking boat of "Sloop John B" to happy dancers ready to "Skip to My Lou". Included in the book and CD are: "The Golden Vanity", "Skip to My Lou", "Cockles and Mussels", "The Fox", "Springfield Mountain", "The Erie Canal", "Rock-a My Soul", "I've Been Workin' on the Railroad" and "Sloop John B".

Peter Yarrow is a member of the iconic '60's folk trio Peter, Paul & Mary. Along with Lenny Lipton, he is the author of the beloved song and now hit book Puff, the Magic Dragon. In addition to extensive touring and performing, Peter is active in Operation Respect, an organization that promotes anti-bullying awareness in schools across the country.
