Bedtime in the Jungle

(4) PS In this latest "Over in the Meadow" takeoff, mothers prepare their baby animals, from one little rhino to ten tiny elephants, for bed. Repetition of soothing words--hush, settle, snuggle--supports the soft-hued, idealized illustrations in which the smiling creatures look furry enough to touch. It's all a little cutesy but serves its purpose.
