John Denver fans and anyone who can remember the warm feeling of spending the night with cousins at grandma's house will love Grandma's Feather Bed celebrating everything that is important about family memories."Upbeat, funny and irresistibly singable," this song was made famous by John Denver and now made "doubly memorable" by Christopher Canyon's delightful illustrations, as the award from Mom's Choice said. Especially if you listen along with Denver―the hardback edition comes with a CD-kids will say, "play it again!" and turn the pages to follow along. It's all about the cousins, the chicken pie, four hound dogs and a piggy, but "the best darn thing about Grandma's house was her great big feather bed." As Vince Gill said, "It just makes sense―John Denver and kids!" What fun.
