Illustrated by
G. Brian Karas.
Also compiled by Andrew Fusek Peters. Yolen and Peters do a fine job of varying the subjects and moods in this cozy themed anthology featuring poets both well known and up-and-coming; the best of the pieces rival the energy and rigor of nursery rhymes. Karas's paintings, many featuring a gorgeous midnight blue, are peopled with cloud-sleepers, bed-bouncers, dream-wonderers, and night-singers, a safe world with an edge of mystery.
