Hush! A Thai Lullaby
A loving mother asks animals from a water buffalo to a lizard to "hush" so her baby can sleep. Once the noises stop, the mother herself sleeps — and the baby is now awake! Textured illustrations evoke the Thai setting and convey the understated humor of this unique bedtime book.
In the Wild
A variety of animals are presented, beginning with "The Lion/[that]stands alone/on the grassy plain
" A large format supports the bold, open woodcut and watercolor illustrations and evocative poetry that will read aloud well.
On the Farm
Short verse and dynamic woodcut illustration combine to reveal characteristics of farm animals, from rooster to rabbit with lots in between. Allusions are intriguing and playful ("The Bees/Tell their story,/sweet and old./It begins in clover;/it ends in gold.") and may inspire other activities.
