Twenty short stories or poems, written to accompany Jessie Wilcox Smith’s illustrations of young children doing ordinary, every-day things, [one page for the text, one page for the illustration] offer youngsters a variety of bedtime tales. The stories, like the illustrations, are ones that children will find relatable. The stories are cute; the illustrations, delightful.


Highly recommended.

An art book for all ages, even grown up children like myself.....What a beautiful book! With beautiful art, as well. Lovely stories, inspirational, in the fashion of Jessie Wilcox Smith, simply lovely. My favorite was the seashell story and although I don't want to hurt the book, I'm sooooo tempted to clip and frame those two pages.
