Nighty Night, Baby Jesus
PreSchool-Grade 1–A rhyming text describes how animals, from Rooster to Goat to Cat and more, all come to the barn and greet the Little Stranger in the manger. &The; Sheep flocked in to see this baby/in his bed of straw,/and spying the Wee Shepherd/gave a wild and wooly &BAAA;! The energetic, stylized illustrations, with their saturated colors and rounded shapes, are reminiscent of Disney cartoons. The text goes on a bit too long and is merely adequate. This effort adds nothing new to an oft-told tale.–Eva Mitnick, Los Angeles Public LibraryEND
