Illustrated by
Emma Quay.
"I could eat your little ears. / I could nibble on your nose. / I could munch your tiny fingers. / I could gobble up your toes." The easy rhythm of Fox's effortless-seeming opening lines leads up to a final kiss good-night. Quay's soft mixed-media art in pastel hues depicts the gentle, rounded forms of anthropomorphic parent-and-child elephants and exudes calming comfort.
