(3) K-3 Illustrated by David Diaz. Paddling along the seacoast, a parka-clad mother and child bid goodnight to various animals as they are bedding down for the evening. Otters and walruses, dolphins and whales, puffins and albatrosses glow in Diaz's soft-focus, swirling paintings, which represent tenderness and comfort. The text alternates repetition with variation--just the right atmosphere for a soothing bedtime story.
