(3) PS Illustrated by Susanna Natti. This story invites readers on a trip with the Sandman. We're transported to a tea party with the Man in the Moon, who entertains guests with music, food, and stories of what he sees in his travels over the earth. The Sandman escorts us home and sends us to sleep "dreaming moon-dream secrets." Natti's watercolors gently pull readers into this cozy bedtime world.

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Wendy Watson. In the spirit of the Watsons' Father Fox's Pennyrhymes, here are fifteen vignettes that focus on the season's joyful preparations and the warmth of family activities. The rhythms are as crisp as they were in the earlier book, but the mood is gentler. Wendy Watson's full-page art in this larger book is more appropriate for group sharing, and her foxes, while less delicately detailed, are characterized with more subtlety and assurance.

(2) PS Illustrated by Wendy Watson. "Oh my goodness, oh my dear / Sassafras & ginger beer, / Chocolate cake & apple punch: / I'm too full to eat my lunch." Father Fox's enormous brood gathers around the fireplace to be entertained by his nonsense songs and rhymes. Detailed, good-humored watercolors follow the adventures of the irrepressible fox family throughout the year in this welcome reissue.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Wendy Watson. Twenty-five brief poems with the cadence of nursery rhymes capture the many moods of amore from courting to quarreling and everything in between. Many of the rhymes derive a quiet vigor from Watson's nod to love's pitfalls as well as its pleasures--an acknowledgment that will escape the collection's intended audience. Softly sketched animal characters have a quaint, old-fashioned appeal.
