Beautiful

This is a folksy Appalachian poem about the end of the day and how the countryside and farm animals and children are getting ready for night time.. example: "Katydids argue: 'Katydid! Katydidn't!' Cicadas fiddle on, but they all stay hidden." The illustrations are absolutely beautiful. Just a beautiful book with a rhyme and simple story line that will lull you to dreamland.

Wonderful book...my daughter loves it!

This is a wonderful book and very reminiscent of growing up in rural Kentucky. Makes me think of home. My two year old daughter loves to have this book read (and sometimes sung) to her at bedtime.
