Sleepy-O!
Harriet Ziefert, Laura Rader
Hardcover
(Houghton Mifflin, Sept. 15, 1997)
What'll we do with this baby-o, If she won't go to sleepy-o? Rock her soft, rock her hard; Rock her into the chicken yard! Nothing will appease baby-o. No amount of soothing, singing, dancing, or sheer craziness will get baby-o to stop crying and go to sleepy-o - until sister finds the solution. Anyone faced with the familiar problem of how to get a child to sleep will appreciate the family's desperate attempts to quiet the baby. Laura Rader's vibrant artwork and Harriet Ziefert's spirited verses breathe new life into a charming Appalachian folksong. Music is included, so grab a fiddle and a washboard and join in the fun with this lively family and their noisy baby-o!
