(1) PS In friendly collages and lilting stanzas that always end with the refrain "Hushabye," Burningham creates different tired expressions for his characters--cat and kittens, a baby, a fish, etc.--with a few subtle pen strokes. Once he introduces everyone, he revisits the characters to show them peacefully asleep in a hayloft or boat or porch chair--whatever arrangement suits their needs. This bedtime book is a soothing rest for the weary.
