Editorial Review:
Catch the Moon is a children's album recorded by longtime friends Lisa Loeb & Elizabeth Mitchell. Liz Mitchell is a noted performer of children’s music and key member of the modern rock band Ida. The package also contains a children's book written by Erin Courtney and illustrated by Brooke Mitchell, who is Elizabeth’s mom. The book is based on the CDs title song which was written by Lisa, Elizabeth, Elizabeth's husband and longtime musical partner Daniel Littleton and engineer Warren Defever (also known for his own records on the 4AD label under the moniker His Name Is Alive).
In additional to the title track, the music CD of Catch The Moon features traditional American family favorite folk songs like "Big Rock Candy Mountain," "Oh Susanna," "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and "Little Red Caboose." Loeb and Mitchell also adapted traditional folk songs from around the world including Japanese "Donguri," the French "Fais Do Do" and the Spanish "La Manita." There's a version of Bob Dylan's "New Morning" that sounds like it was always meant to be in this soothing, uplifting company, and a handful of new songs by Lisa and Elizabeth written especially for this project
Catch the Moon (Book & CD) Reviews:
Big Lisa Loeb Fans 
2009-02-18 - We are big fans of Lisa Loeb (and Elizabeth Mitchell). You can't go wrong!
Really like it
2008-04-11 - My son has enjoyed this book and cd combo since he was two (he's now 3.5). Although not his favorite, he really took to the story. The music cd is a lot of fun. We like all of the songs. It's a nice blend of mello w/ one faster and fun. It's usually my pick for keeping things at a nice quiet pace in the home. Enjoy!
Our Favorite CD & Book - Parents and Kids Will Love It!
2007-11-11 - This is my toddler's favorite CD and book -- and her dad and I love it too! It's a collection of folk, classic, and some original tunes sung to guitar, and the music is calmly and positively infectious. This CD has the ability to change my daughter's mood from sour to laughing, swaying and dancing. The music and lyrics are beautiful, and Lisa Loeb and Elizabeth Mitchell's voices harmonize beautifully together. The story is so sweet and the pictures enchanting yet simple. The book has been our nightly bedtime story for 6 months, and our daughter loves to turn the board book pages, point to the moon and stars and to the little girls. I just wish that Lisa Loeb and Elizabeth Mitchell would reunite for further albums, but this CD has introduced us to Mitchell's independent works, which we have all delighted in. I can't recommend this CD and book enough!
Great CD, OK book 
2007-10-22 - Love the music. Book isn't one that I'd pick up to read to my little girl all the time.
I adore this CD
2007-05-19 - I listen to this CD even when my daughters aren't with me. I think this is Lisa Loeb at her best and I can't wait until she comes out with more children's music. Her lyrics are fun and imaginative. My daughter loves to listen to her 'moon' song. I know these songs are going to be great childhood memories for both them and me.
