(3) K-3 Illustrated by Glo Coalson. A sleepy baby yawns infectiously and, as night progresses, the full moon passes the yawn along to people and animals around the world. It's intriguing to think of the night (and the sleepiness) traveling across the face of the earth. The illustrations, in shades of blue and purple, enhance the bedtime mood.

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Glo Coalson. Mikki Jo's only specialty is blackberry picking, so when she needs a present for her new baby cousin, she uses berries to barter for wool, spinning, then knitting for hand-made booties. To personalize her gift, she dyes the booties with blackberry juice. Even though Mikki Jo seems oddly unfamiliar with how wool becomes booties, her ingenuity is engaging. Coalson's watercolors are distinctive.

(3) PS Illustrated by Glo Coalson. In this board book edition, a little Inuit boy discovers that there is room on his mother's lap for himself, his favorite toys, and his baby sister. Coalson's soft illustrations do not suffer much from the size reduction, and certainly the older end of the board book set will enjoy the sentiments expressed in this simple, warm, and loving book.
