Little Quack's Bedtime

(3) PS Illustrated by Derek Anderson. One by one, Mama Duck's five ducklings go to sleep but not before Mama identifies mysterious noises and sights ("whooo! whooo! whooo!" is an owl hooting; "sway, sway, sway" is a tree moving). An appropriately quiet text featuring effective use of repetition ("Now it's sleepy time, little ducklings") and boldly composed double-page spreads combine to tell a reassuring bedtime story.
