Sleep, My Bunny by Rosemary Wells is a gentle bedtime book for ages 2 through five.  With impressionistic backgrounds of swirling , soothing shades of blue, happy domestic scenes show a little bunny child with his parents’ help getting ready for bed including sharing a book, taking a bath, listening to music, and hugging a stuffed animal . The text is a six sentence lullaby that could also be read as a gentle nature poem. Preschoolers will explore the illustrations that show happy bedtime routines while they listen to the soothing, quiet music-like text. “Hush now, you hoot owls, and crickets, be wary – the morning is hiding behind the next cloud.” Recommended by Margy Soule, Coffin School librarian, Brunswick, Maine
