Hush, Little Ones

John Butler. Peachtree Publishers, $15.95 (32pp) ISBN 978-1-56145-269-9

As he did in While You Were Sleeping, John Butler deftly portrays animals in their natural setting in Hush, Little Ones. Soft light and lilting rhyme (""Hush, little rabbits,/ don't make a sound./ Sleep tight in your burrow, deep underground"") are certain to soothe.
