Sweet Dreams, Baby
Emma Dodd. Barron’s, $6.99 (10p) ISBN 978-0-7641-6885-7
In one of two books launching the Sprinkle with Kisses series, Dodd delivers a gentle recipe for a good night’s sleep, at least where babies are concerned. “Take one sleepy baby and a great big yawn,” she begins. “Add some beautiful dreams to dream until dawn.” Dodd’s images are as cuddly as her rhymes; featuring a chubby Caucasian baby and a medley of nursery-friendly patterns (stripes, polka dots, hearts, stars), they also incorporate tiny die-cut shapes that give the pages additional tactile dimension. Though not especially distinctive, it’s an undeniably comforting affair. Simultaneously available: A Spoonful for Bunny. Up to age 3. (Mar.)
