You can really never have too many lullabies, can you? I love lullabies for bedtime, of course, but also to play when we need to calm down after lunch, or on lazy rainy afternoons.

And when the lullaby is as pretty as this one from America singer-songwriter Laura Veirs (and, psst, it’s free), it’s a no-brainer that it’s going to be added to our mix.

The first song off her new children’s CD, Tumble Bee, Little Lap-Dog Lullaby is a sing-songy American folk song that has a perfect snuggle-in-the-rocking-chair beat. And you can get a free download a few weeks before the CD is available with just a click. –Christina
