Sleep Tight, Snow White: 15 Bewitching Bedtime Rhymes

(4) PS Illustrated by Lorena Alvarez. A host of nursery-rhyme and fairy-tale characters (including Goldilocks, Prince Charming, and Little Boy Blue) prepare for bed in this collection of silly four-line rhymes: "Want a fella, / Cinderella? / Eight hours' sleep / will make you bella."
