Picture-book pioneer Remy Charlip's new offering is a work of love--and new parents will feel right at home as they read aloud this enchanting sleepytime . . . or anytime . . . rhyme. Affectionately illustrated pages show a mother and baby playing in the nursery, and the beguiling backdrops feature the clouds, the stars, the moon--the whole world--mirroring their unconditional devotion. Comforting, lyrical, tangible, universal--here is a love song for a baby . . . or for anyone in love.
