Daddy's Lullaby

(3) PS Illustrated by Jason Cockcroft. There still aren't as many books featuring daddies crooning bedtime songs to babies as there are those depicting mommies, so this is a welcome portrait of a father coming home one night to find only the house's youngest inhabitant awake. The prose is spare and informal ("Still not tired? Well, we'd better go elsewhere"), and the paintings are realistic yet idealized enough to create a magical mood.
