Animal parents from owls and bears to rabbits and mice croon sleep songs to their babies in this sugary collection of eleven woodland lullabies. A brief note about the appearance or behavior of each animal baby appears at the back of the small, squarish book. Both the poems and soft pencil illustrations depicting benign-looking animal families appear against pastel backgrounds stamped with gold stars.
