This is the CD that I have heard more than any other in my whole life! We play it every night before little D goes to bed, and have done since he was 7 months old. About half the tracks are instrumental, half vocal but not in English, so it just kind of washes over you. Almost exactly 30 minutes in duration. I haven't come across anyone who doesn't like it, and I can still bear to listen to it after years of daily play!

What Parents Need to Know
About Asian Dreamland
Parents need to know that this lovely CD of Asian lullabies should prove engaging and relaxing for them as well as their children, thanks to the stellar lineup of musicians and the variety of traditional instruments featured (such as the thousand-year-old Chinese erhu -- a two-string fiddle). Even though our ratings system recommends media titles for kids older than 2 years old, this series is best for little ones under 2.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the diverse instruments featured -- how is a Japanese shamisen different from an Indian sitar? The CD can also serve as the soundtrack for naptime, peaceful playtime, yoga time for Mom or Dad, or just relaxing. Parents may want to seek out other less kid-focused albums by these musicians for their own collections.
