PS
Parents, sister, grandmother, and the family pets send baby to bed with a countdown of kisses: "ten little kisses on teeny tiny toes" down to "one last kiss on your sleepy, dreamy head." Katz's patterned art, with its round shapes and pastel-colored palette, is engaging, but the decorative hearts and rosy cheeks may make this too saccharine for some. Stick with Molly Bang's Ten, Nine, Eight for bedtime counting books.
