A father comforts his daughter after a nightmare with his version of a familiar lullaby. "Hush little darling, don't say a word, / Daddy's gonna give you a ... Mockingbird." Inspired by objects in her room, such as a toy ship, he promises ever more extravagant gifts, until she protests she just wanted a hug. Witty illustrations portray Daddy's entertaining fantasy with gusto.
