Unfortunately, she can't reach.  Big brother Willoughby to the rescue! After waking her brother, Willa plies him  with questions about getting big. Willoughby replies with exactly the kind of  answers a toddler needs: "You'll be able to brush your own teeth without any  help... And when you're really big, nearly as big as I'll be, you might be able  to reach the moon in a rocket!" It's only when Willoughby informs his little  sister that she'll be too big for toys that the pleasant future-fantasizing  screeches to a halt. "I don't ever want to be big," Willa says. Fortunately,  Willoughby is thoughtful enough to know when to turn the reins over to someone  older, wiser, and infinitely comforting: Mom.In this sequel to the endearingTell Me Something Happy Before I Go to  SleepJoyce Dunbar and Debi Gliori bring back this cuddly pair of  siblings for another reassuring tale about childhood worries. Gliori's colorful  illustrations are a veritable patchwork quilt of patterns and cozy objects.  (Ages 3 to 7)--Emilie Coulter
