PS
In the style of the traditional nursery song, this version presents a succession of animals and one human getting ready for bed: "Rock-a-bye Squirrel, / high in the tree, / in Mommy's arms, / cozy as can be." Captivating double-page spreads picture animals, including Robin, Caterpillar, Owlet, and Baby, lovingly rocked to sleep. The rhythmic cadence should likewise lull young listeners.
