(3) K-3 Illustrated by Glo Coalson. A sleepy baby yawns infectiously and, as night progresses, the full moon passes the yawn along to people and animals around the world. It's intriguing to think of the night (and the sleepiness) traveling across the face of the earth. The illustrations, in shades of blue and purple, enhance the bedtime mood.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ted Rose. A firestorm raged through an area of Minnesota in 1894, and Nobisso tells the horrific story of a train caught in this inferno. The text focuses on John Blair, an African-American porter, who saved people running from the fire by pulling them to safety on the train. Rose's watercolor illustrations, especially his detailed Train No. 4, complement this little-known piece of American history.
