Turn on Hannah Montana.’ “ — Sheri of This Bird’s Day incorporated the CD into her daughter’s bedtime ritual: “The classical music is soothing and relaxing, and it has the added benefit of a beautiful bedtime story to kick off Baby Bird’s nighttime routine as well as mine.” ToyDirectory Product ID#: 27980 (added 4/14/2010) .
