Wynken, Blynken, & Nod

Eugene Field's classic bedtime poem--about three children's adventures sailing in a wooden shoe--is brought to life with Johanna Westerman's vivid illustrations. Westerman's minutely detailed watercolors depict a Dutch landscape. The luminosity of the moonlit sea is captured in muted shades of blue that create a soothing mood for the dramatic verse.--School Library Journal Westerman captures the tone of the poem in a fittingly traditional way. . . . a pleasing rendition of an old favorite. --Booklist Westerman's inventive design elements provide a soothing accompaniment for the familiar text, a staple for bedtime reading.--Publishers Weekly
