It
is time for this little elephant to go to bed. As his mother
takes him upstairs, she tells him all the things she could
do, like rock him in her arms and stroke his silky hair but
now's not the time for all of that.
"There comes a time for sleeping, and our sleepy time
is now," she says. "So fall asleep, my angel
with
a kiss upon your brow."
The simple illustrations are done in muted colors (purple
and lavender) and were done in crayon or pastel so they are
rather hazy. This is an interesting artistic approach which
may be relaxing for adults, but I'm not sure about toddlers.
Will children want to return to this book over and over again?
Frankly, I'm not sure, but it would be interesting to find
out what a child would think of this bedtime book.
