Mama's Bayou

(4) PS Illustrated by Holly Stone-Barker. Young readers are lulled to sleep with the onomatopoeic sounds of bayou wildlife. The swamp orchestra--featuring mama and baby animals--swells to a crescendo then subsides with a chorus of "hush, hush." Textured cut-paper and collage illustrations feature exaggeratedly wide-eyed critters--a humorous but too-cartoony touch. Glossaries of wildlife and vegetation are appended.
