Illustrated by
R. Gregory Christie.
When Daddy puts a record on the turntable, everyone gets into the sound, including the baby in his crib. The rhythmic text continues with everyone singing and dancing until finally "snoozy-woozy baby" drops off to sleep. The vitality comes through both in the lively text and the jazzy, brightly colored gouache paintings, their curves and angles highlighted in black ink.
