When we were little, we had the orange set of Childcraft, a division of World Book Encyclopedia. Although I’ve gotten rid of many of the volumes (as they’re out of date in areas such as science), I still have the two that have classic children’s poems and stories. Here’s one of my favorites that I also read to our girls from a beautiful board book. Its rhythms are perfect for getting ready to sleep. It makes me happy just to read it again. And with that, I’m off to bed.
