Publishers Weekly

A pair of paper-over-board nursery anthologies feature the art of Bessie Pease Gutmann: Nursery Songs & Lullabies and Nursery Poems & Prayers. In the first, upbeat tunes such as "Hey Diddle Diddle" give way to more soothing songs like "Rock-a-Bye, Baby." Poems such as "Monday's Child" and "Pat-a-Cake" outnumber prayers like "God Is Great" and "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep" in the second title. In both books, readers will pore over affectionately nostalgic images of babies with stuffed animals, dolls and puppies. Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information.
