Illustrated by
Mary Peterson.
In this appealing vehicular twist on the traditional lullaby, a wide-awake red car cruises along a yellow road, beeping good night to tractors, trucks, taxis, and more. After a zippy ride, the now-sleepy car putt-putts home, where its own "beep-beep dreams begin." Soft gray and luminous yellow dominate the retro linoleum-block prints, giving the proceedings a calm atmosphere, despite the little car's (initially) high energy.
