Hush-A-Bye Babies By Janet Slingsby

Slingsby, Janet. Hush-a-Bye Babies. Illustrated by Andy Beckett. Barrons. 32ps. 2001. ISBN 0764154109.

(Ages 3 and up)

A wonderful bedtime story that focuses on diurnal woodland animals trying to get a funny-looking squawking baby to sleep. After numerous failed attempts form the birds, squirrels, rabbits, and mice, their children take over and talk to the baby. We learn that he is nocturnal and sleeps during the day until his mother returns back for him at night. Featuring realistically fully colored, illustrated animals, the reader learns that not all animals sleep at night, as the distinction between each animal is recognizable.
