Mother Goose's Pajama Party

(3) PS Illustrated by Virginia Allyn. "Star light, star bright, / Come to story time tonight." Heeding Mother Goose's message in the sky, her kingdom's characters prepare to join her ("Nimble Jack, so spry and quick, / led them with his candlestick"). Smith's airtight rhymes ingeniously borrow motifs from the nursery verses, and Allyn's art, which features a diverse cast, seems timeless. Eight pages of nursery rhymes are included.
