PreS. This gentle good-night story swings along with the rocking rhythm of a bedtime song: "In a house on a hill there's a wild little child not ready to close her eyes. She burrows in blankets and talks to her toys and listens for lullabies." Outside the child's snug house, creatures are settling in for the night. Each successive spread focuses on a different animal family and its restless young--the birds thirsty for a drink before sleep; rowdy rabbits that want one last chase before bed. Children will easily recognize the animals' procrastination techniques, and they may want to sing along with the rhyming couplets that close each spread. Luminous double-page images of starlit sky, deeply shadowed lawn, and sleepy animals evoke both the cozy comforts of bedtime and the dreamy mystery of the nighttime world. Suggest this with Kate Banks' And If the Moon Could Talk (1998). Gillian Engberg Copyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved See all Editorial Reviews
