(4) PS Illustrated by Marty Husted. In this soothing, rhythmic free-verse poem, an Eskimo mother coaxes her child to sleep by calling forth images of the sights, sounds, and inhabitants of the Arctic tundra. The child imagines himself in every scene, kayaking among seabirds and frolicking with bears, before finally falling asleep. The watercolor illustrations aptly capture the landscape but are stiff, especially when depicting human characters.
