(3) K-3 Illustrated by David Small. A girl fantasizes that her bedtime wind-down is princess-esque: "Will she hold a candelabra / while climbing up the stairs / and have a frothy glass of milk / with chocolate cream éclairs?" The princess fantasy (complete with commoner parents bemusedly looking on) is familiar, but the rhymes are nicely lilting, and Small indulges the girl's imagination with relish.
