(3) K-3 Illustrated by Elizabeth Miles. In Paxton's reworked lullaby, Jenny and her rabbit and a small menagerie run away for a few pre-bedtime adventures, having cookies and oolong tea and dancing as they sail a ship on the "starlight sea." The nonsense-infused rhymes are charming, and Miles's moonlight-drenched paintings featuring a puckish, nightgown-clad Jennifer will put readers in that sleepy-time mood.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Karen Lee Schmidt. The hippos challenge the monkeys to a baseball game, and to everyone's surprise, the hippos win. Paxton's children's song is successfully translated into a lively picture book complete with musical arrangement on the endpapers. The humor in Schmidt's bright illustrations--monkeys and hippos cavort across the pages waving their arms and tripping over their feet--perfectly suits the song.
