Jumbo's Lullaby

(4) PS Illustrated by Henri Sorensen. A mother elephant lulls her offspring to sleep with a song about the dreams other wild animals have as they enjoy their quiet slumber. Serene oil paintings complement the tender relationship between adult animals (ostrich, lioness, gorilla, rhinoceros, zebra) and their young. The singsong bedtime verse offers little verve.
