(More customer reviews)The lyrics at the beginning of the book are incorrect. Most people would not know this, as the lyrics weren't used in The Wizard of Oz. The correct lyric is: "When all the world is a hopeless jumble and the raindrops tumble all around, Heaven opens a magic lane. When all the clouds darken up the skyway there's a rainbow highway to be found, leading from your window pane to a place behind the sun - just a step beyond the rain." The book leaves out the word "highway" - pretty critical to the sense of the lyric and the rhyme. The only reason I know this is that the Seattle Men's Chorus uses "Over the Rainbow" as its theme song, and starts with the beginning of the song - inlcuding the lyric that Judy Garland didn't sing in the film.

With the marriage of The Wizard of Oz's most beloved song and the iridescent paintings of one of America's most beloved artists, comes Mary Tiegreen's beautifully designed Over the Rainbow, the fifth installment in Welcome's fabulous Art & Poetry series. Very few songs have taken hold of our hearts and imaginations the way "Over the Rainbow" has, stirring up wistfulness and a longing to be free. These lyrics, so evocative of light and color, have found thier perfect match in the paintings of Maxfied Parrish. These paintings seem to generate a light of their own, reflecting off the words on each page, and the result is a feeling of warmth and exuberance, and a sense that dreams "really do come true."
