PS
"The moon's sweet lullaby of light / falls softly through the jungle night...." The jungle animals are asleep--all except a leopard cub, who tries to stay awake "the whole night through." The vibrant woodcut illustrations depict sleeping hogs, polliwogs, wildebeests, and monkeys. The text is gentle and engaging despite the occasionally uneven rhythm.
