I really love the illustrations in this book. I have always liked this song and was so excited when I found this. I rate this book with 5 stars. It presents all six qualities needed for an outstanding book according to Temple, Martinez, and Yokota (TMY, 2010, p. 9).

We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book. It is absolutely one of the most whimsical and beautifully illustrated books I've ever purchased. We bought this for our daughter earlier this year and she asks me to read it to her all the time. The truth is, I adore it as much as she does. The recorded version that comes with the book is not up to par with Judy Garland by any means, but my daughter has nothing else to compare it to and LOVES it. This is one she will probably never forget and want to hang on to fo...more
This is a book that recreates the classic song "Over the Rainbow" that we all know and love from The Wizard of Oz in the form of a book. I think it is a great way to show kids that they can express themselves through forms of art and music. I believe these "extra" subjects are just as significant as academics itself. Anyhow, this book is complete with beautiful illustrations to represent the song, as well as a CD recording of the song itself.
This is a great story based on a song. This book contains excellent illustrations that make you feel like you are living the fairy tale life. This book can be used as a hook to teach about rainbows/ light for a science unit.
What great illustrations this book has! This is an excellent book to get children thinking about how rainbows are formed, the colors of a rainbow, and how light and rain effect a rainbow's existence.
I ran across this book at a B&N in California. . . I am absolutely in LOVE with this book. The words are beautiful and the illustrations leave me breathless.
I can't wait to buy this one.

This book which can also be sung is a great way to introduse the topic of rainbows and light to your classroom. The illustrations are vivid and children will love to follow along.
A beautifully illustrated version of the famous song that captures both the whimsical delight of childhood and the poignant beauty of hope that can see beyond hard times.
The only thing I found lacking for this book was the discs that go along with this book were not provided by the library so we could not hear the music as we read along.
Takes the chorus of the famous song and puts illustrations with it. Also includes a CD that has the song and a recording of the story
The paintings are very beautiful, surreal but in a magical, innocent way. My daughter especially loves the accompanying music CD.
Another one of my favorite childrens books. It uses the lyrics to the song paired with beautiful illustrations!
Unique illustrations. The book also comes with a CD with Judy Collins singing the song Over the Rainbow!
Beautiful, fanciful illustrations to the song lyrics of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow".
This is a book that has been created from an actual song.
Lovely illustrations!
Beautiful Illustrations!
