This cozy bedtime book features a variety of baby animals, devoting a two-page spread to each one. "Hush, little penguin, go to sleep, / Nestled between your father's feet." Arranged in curving lines, the rhyming text is frequently an effective part of the page's composition. The large animals in the illustrations catch the reader's eye; but some may find the friendly looking, smiling baby animals too cute.
