(2) PS Illustrated by Giselle Potter. In this riff on "Baa Baa Black Sheep," a boy asks five animals what items they can offer to help him sleep. The tale's familiar pattern leads quietly to dreamland. Gershator tells an engaging bedtime story enriched by Potter's parallel visual narrative. Uncluttered illustrations carry the minimalist thread while also adding humor to the rhymed text.
