(4) K-3 Illustrated by Bonnie Leick. A girl hopes for "a day that never ends," and the moon grants her wish. She eventually realizes, "Nighttime is the time for rest, / a time to gain energy for a new day." The Spanish translation isn't an exact match for the English text; though lyrical, both are awkward in places. The soothing pastoral illustrations resemble greeting-card art.
