Customer Reviews

Another GREAT John Denver & Kids book!
We LOVE the other John Denver books illustrated by Christopher Canyon and could not wait for the arrival of Grandma's Featherbed. The first time I ever heard this song was on the Muppet Show, so I have visions of Muppets dancing in my head whenever I hear it. That made me wonder how the book would be in comparison to Muppets---how can you top that?

Well, it may not top my childhood memory of Muppets, but Christopher Canyon has made great new characters that come to life in this book! It is TERRIFIC!!! Lots of detail, LOVE the big eyes and facial expression---LOTS of FUN! The format, put together with John Denver's lyrics and CD, is fun---a great way to keep John Denver alive and share his music and love of nature and family with future generations. My 1 1/2-year old LOVES these books, too :) We always sing through it at least once and then go back through to point out & name all the animals, sun, trees, colors and other details. It's really FUN :)

Christopher, if you read this, thank you and keep up the good work---Maybe a future project, you can create a book for us that demonstrates John Denver's love for the Alaskan wilderness? That would be SOOOOOOOO cool!!!

An especial treat for young and old John Denver fans to share together.
John Denver's Grandma's Feather Bed is a softcover children's picturebook based on the famous song written by Jim Connor and "adopted" by popular musician John Denver. Exuberantly illustrated by Christopher Canyon, John Denver's Grandma's Feather Bed brings a classic ditty about family fun and togetherness to life. "When I was a little bitty boy / just up off the floor, / we used to go out to Grandma's house / every month-end or so. / We'd have chicken pie and country ham / and homemade butter on the bread, / but the best darn thing about / Grandma's house was her / great big feather bed!" The last few pages offer more information about the people who created the song, as well as a musical score for the tune. An especial treat for young and old John Denver fans to share together.

Great
I bought this book thinking it was a read along book. It is just the song on the CD which is hard to follow for a 5 year old reading along. He does love the song and the book is beautiful and fun to look at. He had a fit of the giggles when we tried to turn the pages to keep up with the song, there is just too much to look at on each page to go so fast. We appreciate them seperately.
