Over the Hills and Far Away

 By Chris Conover

This is exactly the kind of book that I would like to write.  It's a traditional nursery rhyme illustrated stanza by stanza with gorgeous and engaging pictures.

The final two pages have an arrangement of the melody with some accompaniment.

Changes I would make are that the melody should have been present in some manner on the main pages so that I could sight sing as I read (maybe even with chords so that I can play guitar and read it.)  The arrangement at the end seemed a little iffy for piano.  It would have been nice if it had been an early/intermediate level piano piece for a young student.

All in all, it's pretty great, though.
