Jill Barton.
After Mom goes to bed, Grandma, Grandpa, and other family members come up with a series of increasingly outrageous, and unsuccessful, ways to calm the crying baby, until his smart brother realizes that a simple cuddle is all that's in order. Warm and softly humorous, the watercolor illustrations provide just the right touch for this gentle tall tale.
