PS
Granted, it's a lullaby, and as such intended for babies, but the detailed pictures seem designed for older, more observant children. Frazee's pioneer characters are wonderfully expressive, from the squalling baby to the increasingly exhausted parents and exasperated older sister. In the original, larger picture book, the illustrations are easier to enjoy than in this board book edition.
