From School Library Journal
PreS–In this cheerful glimpse at small-town life, a baby wakes up and begins an ordinary day filled with pleasant moments. Slowly, like a movie camera, the narrator's omniscient view pulls back, taking readers outside, where boys ride bikes, a neighbor hangs out laundry, and the people of the community begin to go about their business. Baby reappears in a stroller, going for a walk with his parents. As the day lengthens, the residents wind up their activities and head for home. Darkness falls, and Daddy rocks his son to sleep, gently putting him down "in his little crib, in their little house, in the little town." This sweet story told in rhyme is accompanied by simple acrylic illustrations. Filled with smiling townsfolk, the pictures convey warmth and contentment, and effectively move the story along. Reminiscent of Margaret Wise Brown's Good Night Moon (HarperCollins, 1947), this charming tale will be asked for again and again.–Linda L. Walkins, Mount Saint Joseph Academy, Brighton, MA
