Television actress Jessica Harper turned her talents towards children's books and music; her recordings for children have won many awards, including Parents' Choice Gold Awards and NAPPA Awards from the National Association of Parenting Publications. 40 Winks is her fourth album and, like her other titles, contains tuneful weaving of traditionals, gospel, soft jazz and folk stylings.

Doc Watson is one of America's national treasures, a folk and bluegrass legend with nearly palpable charm and low-key sense of humor that is perfectly clear on this children's album, recorded live in 1990. With the intimacy of a living-room gathering, this set of traditional folk songs, kids' classics and Watson signature tunes will both delight and enthrall!
