Pam Paparone.
"I like things that come nice and low / Falling leaves and falling snow." The rhyming text (a poem from Merriam's 1962 anthology There Is No Rhyme for Silver) lists things that, like preschoolers, are close to the ground. Colorful paintings with just the right amount of detail illustrate the poetic list that quietly winds down to bedtime with "Hushaby tunes / And little new moons."
