The Night Night Book
Marianne Richmond. Sourcebooks Jabberwocky, $7.95 (10p) ISBN 978-1-9340-8290-4
Calming verse pairs with mixed-media collages in a quietly uplifting bedtime story that recaps the highlights of a day well spent. "Night night sandbox/ and shiny slide./ Night night wagon/ with bumpy ride!/ Night night puzzles,/ books, and toys./ Night night friends,/ girls and boys." After bidding goodnight to his pet dog, his family, and even the "speedy fast" feet that carried him down a soccer field, the child waves goodnight to the golden moon: "Dear tomorrow,/ see you soon!" The repetition and gentle tone of the verse and Richmond's na%C3%AFf, comforting collages make this an excellent way to wind down the day. Ages 1%E2%80%934. (Apr.)
