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
