A Pacific Northwest Lullaby

by Jennifer Blomgren and Andrea Gabriel

This beautifully illustrated lullaby book features shimmering salmon fry, a long-legged baby moose, feathery eaglets, and fifteen other Northwest animals bedding down for the night (or day!). Rhythmic and soothing four-line stanzas describe the animals’ habitatas and sleeping patterns. Children will love learning about the familiar creatures in this special book, destined to become a regional classic.

“Where do I sleep? In a den underground,
Lined with velvety grass–it’s here I’ll be found.
In a russet red coat with sooty black socks
And bright golden eyes, I’m a baby Red Fox.”

"The illustrations in soft pastels are the perfect accompaniment for this gentle text about the animals of the Pacific Northwest…. The soft greens, gentle blues, and cozy browns will make children want to reach out and 'pet' the book. The simple text isThis tender pair [with Why Do I Sing?] should make lovely bedtime additions. Gentle verses describe the sleeping and singing habits of various animals. Each of the illustrations contains the name of the animal in question. Soft and sweet yet beautifully textured, the images are lovely and will have readers poring over them.
