Ten, Nine, Eight
A little girl is rocked and readied for bed by her father's counting rhyme. The full color outlined paintings and low key warmth projected by a Black family's cozy and loving bedtime ritual are reminiscent of Margaret Wise Brown. A beautifully conceived and developed idea and design. ©1983 Cooperative Children's Book Center
