PreS-K—Mommies, daddies, boys, and girls are not the only ones who go to sleep at night. Planets, clouds, snow and ice, animals, plants, vehicles, and more—everything goes to sleep A young child snuggles into bed with mom and dad to read a bedtime story and say good night to the world. This sweet picture book told in rhyming verse makes an ideal bedtime tale for little ones. The illustrations are done in charcoal and watercolor in soft shades of blue, green, yellow, and pink, the colors of twilight. The smoothly flowing text has the calming feel of a lullaby. The book is large and inviting, and the cover is dotted with shiny gold stars; children will eagerly pick it up. This is a great choice to have in a library collection for checkout, but it will probably not be used often for a story hour. VERDICT The perfect selection to snuggle up with. It is like being wrapped in a soft, warm blanket just before naptime.—Amy Shepherd, St. Anne's Episcopal School, Middleton, DE
