(3) K-3 Illustrated by Steve Johnson & Lou Fancher. Bonwill presents a series of interconnected rhymes about sleep: one about mermaids lulled by waves leads to one about "those same waves" that carry ships sailed by pirates "abed in bunks, asleep on trunks," and so on. The rat-a-tat rhymes are the work of a pro, and illustrators Johnson and Fancher make every spread a gorgeous, fantastical sleepscape.
