Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star: A Collection of Bedtime Rhymes
Illus. by Fhiona Galloway. Tiger Tales, $7.99 (24p) ISBN 978-1-58925-545-6
Part of the My Little World series, this board book gathers 10 short nursery rhymes, each getting its own spread. Galloway’s crisp digital graphics give the book the pared-down feel of an app, as a brown owl dons a nightcap for “Star light, star bright” and a bear assumes the role of Wee Willie Winkie, running past a trio of pastel-colored houses in his blue striped nightgown. Other entries include favorites like “Row, row, row your boat” and “Rock-a-bye, baby,” and while this isn’t the most distinctive collection out there, in terms of either artwork or selections, it’s a fine introduction to some classic rhymes. Simultaneously available: Hickory, Dickory Dock. Ages 2–5. (Mar.)
