PS
To refresh this familiar rhyme, Cabrera dresses the members of her animal cast for different roles--doctor, ballerina, pilot, etc.--as each falls out of bed. Literal-minded readers will wonder where the costumes, props, and new backdrops (ocean, field, sky) keep coming from, but the energetic art, featuring thick brush strokes and a saucy palette, justifies the suspension of disbelief.
