Sleep Songs Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star/Golden Slumbers: A Flip-Flop Board Book

Amanda Wallwork, A. Wallwork. Handprint Books, $8.95 (16pp) ISBN 978-1-929927-39-5

With Amanda Wallwork's Sleep Songs, readers get two books in one. ""Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"" comes first; like Long's, this edition provides a fuller version of the traditional text. Youngsters can turn the board book upside down for the second song, ""Golden Slumbers."" Here, Wallwork's buttery hues contrast with deep blues as the child drifts off to sleep. Glittering foil accents sunflowers, stars and moon. (Dec.)
