Shields, Gillian When the World Is Ready for Bed illustrated by Anna Currey PICTURE BOOK. Bloomsbury, 2009.  $15

EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE

This little rabbit family settles down for the night after having dinner and cleaning up toys. The rhyming text, although not my favorite-it seems a little forced- has a gentle rhythm that makes it sound like a quiet lullaby. The last page is my favorite as it makes a promise that "Always lovely, always new, tomorrow's waiting just for you."

Great for kids before bed.
