Illustrated by
Judy Horacek.
Skinny Doug is Bonnie and Ben's favorite sitter, a fount of traditional rhymes. In crisply outlined illustrations--as breezy and bouncy as the text--the kids hop into bed and take part in succinctly rendered visualizations of the rhymes. It's a clever way to introduce six old favorites--and to model how to engage with small charges and then settle them down.
