Ages newborn to three. Everything from the rocking boat to the song in the middle seem to support a gentling into sleep. Rhyme comforts a newborn as well as a new reader. Nancy Larrick's collection , When the Dark Comes Dancing , is a blend of poems and lullabies that are enjoyable to the newborn and may calm a reading parent as well. Larrick precedes her collection with an excellent introduction that is full of helpful hints.
Illustrations are vivid and dreamy all at the same time.
