Review # 1 was written on 2016-11-20 00:00:00 Jeffrey Caplis 4.5 stars rounded up because the community average is too low, imo. Pleasant surprise, as so much picture-book (as opposed to Golden book) Brown disappoints. We would have loved this when my boys were little. I could stand to read it every night because I'd enjoy looking at the pictures over and over. And the rhythm and rhyme are very soothing. And the animals are somewhat atypical and therefore interesting. The vocabulary is interesting too. And I could see using this as a writing prompt in early elementary school, because the font of the text is large enough that a story reader could share with a whole circle of little ones. Thank you Ashley Wolff for taking this on, for daring to follow Clement Hurd and Garth Williams. I will definitely look for more of your illustrated books.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-09-09 00:00:00 Ned Walters This is a sweet lullaby. I read the edition with Ashley Wolff's illustrations. Wolff is one of my favorite illustrators, and I think she did a fabulous job illustrating this book. The animals show a lot of personality, and I liked that she put the animals in slightly different settings. The donkeys, pigs, and cats are in rural settings; the monkeys are in the jungle; the birds are in the woods; the sheep is in Navajo country; the humans in a town. In the last double-page spread, one can see the house where the donkey lives; the farm with a barn; the wood/straw hut in the jungle; the tent in the woods; and the hogan; as well, of course, as the town. BTW, one can sing the words in this book to the tune of "Hush Little Baby Don't Say a Word."
