Bookroo's summary
A baby cries endlessly, leaving parents frazzled and desperate. The big sister, in a bid to help, sets off a chain of events involving a peddler's wagon full of toys and animals. Can her accidental actions bring peace, or will they lead to more chaos? Discover the whimsical twists in this reimagined lullaby tale, where love and mischief collide in a night of unexpected adventures.
From the publisher
A celebrated illustrator reinvents a familiar lullaby with this story of a baby who will not stop crying and a big sister who tries to help. Hush, little baby, don’t say a word, Papa’s gonna buy you a mockingbird. . . . A baby who howls all night, parents at their wits’ end, a peddler whose wagon is filled with toys and animals, and a big sister who accidentally-on-purpose starts it all–these are the players in this delightful and original interpretation of a timeless folk tune. Marla Frazee’s story-in-pictures is a perfect lullaby for all restless babies and their exhausted, loving families.
