Momma, Buy Me a China Doll is the latest, lavishly illustrated children’s songtale based on the great American folk music heritage and collected by John M. Feierabend. This delightful song tells the story of Liza Lou, who dreams of owning a china doll after seeing one in a peddler’s cart. Owning a china doll, however, would be a luxury far out of reach for a poor mountain girl from the Ozarks. One of the endearing charms of this song is how Liza is able to provide countless ideas that could lead to raising money to buy a china doll…but alas, to no avail. Like the other picture books in John M. Feierabend’s First Steps in Music series, Momma, Buy Me a China Doll includes a description of the history of the song, the notation of the song, and a link to download the song in audio form at no cost. This book is part of John M. Feierabend’s continuing effort to preserve our rich heritage of children’s folksongs. GIA Publications, Inc. is pleased to expand its series of picture books based on these timeless songs and stories. READ! LISTEN! SING ALONG! | Momma Buy Me A China Doll by John M.
