All on a Sleepy Night

(4) PS Illustrated by Sylvie Daigneault. All kinds of night noises, from a bird's twittering and a pipe's gurgling to a refrigerator's humming and a fox's yipping, keep a small boy awake in his grandparents' bed. The story is told in singsongy rhyming verse, and kids will probably enjoy joining in on the noisy refrains. Illustrations tinged with the blues, greens, and purples of night are just shy of being too sentimental.
