“I love that this story has the same rhythm as the nursery rhyme Mockingbird. However, it has new rhymes that are clever and fun to read. The illustrations are darling!”

“A cute, new take on the classic song "Hush Little Baby," this doesn't have all of the words you're expecting, but it does have the same calming, soothing rhythm and sentiments. The illustrations are sweet as well.”
