Bothered by the crashing end to the traditional "Rock-a-Bye Baby"? Here's your alternative: evocatively sensory rhymes take Baby from treetop to bird's nest and so on, until "Over the rivers, over the farms, / Baby flies home... / And into my arms." The grin on Baby's face while traversing magical realism–inspired nightscapes leaves no doubt that this is a thrill ride.
