Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

Toddler-PreS–Two dozen nursery rhymes and lullabies are illustrated in pastels that seem perfect for sending its audience off to sleep. Several pages feature multiple rhymes and a few of the included pieces are prayers that mention God and the New Testament writers Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The diverse cast of children illustrated in a style of rounded, friendly shapes. VERDICT This is a large collection of rhymes and lullabies for a single board book but the illustrations are fresh and inviting. Recommended for collections seeking to update their nursery rhyme board books, where the slightly religious skew is a good fit.–John Scott, School Library Journal
