"A is for Aaaah / when a small / kitten sighs / B is for Baaaaaa / when the lambs / close their eyes." While this isn't Brown's freshest text, it's a love match with Katz's style: her happy, big-headed babies and toddlers surrounded by zingy colors and patterns are game to demonstrate or witness whatever Brown sends their way.

"Night is over. The moon goes down. The morning star is blazing bright--the bright and morning star." Brown's comforting text is newly illustrated in this toddler-friendly edition. Katz's round-faced, chubby babies of different ethnicities inhabit a bucolic world of cheerful ponies, scampering squirrels, and fluffy lambs.

"We go down / to go uptown / down, down, down / in the subway." This book's art and simple, repetition-filled text convey the various sensations of a subway ride as a girl and her mother go through turnstiles, listen to subway musicians, ride through tunnels, and finally reach their destination. Brightly patterned collage-style illustrations depict a cheerful, ethnically diverse group of commuters.
