Illustrated by
Mandy Sutcliffe.
A girl sings a lullaby for her pet bunny, Boo. A typical verse: "All the big ships have dropped anchor--sploosh! / Little sailors are resting their heads. / Pirates are snoozing in hammocks. / Captain Boo, now it's time for bed!" The treacly rhymes hit some snags, but fans of old-fashioned nursery-rhyme art will appreciate Sutcliffe's cozy, dimly lit scenes.
