Family Lullaby by Jody Fickes Shapiro
(HarperCollins $16.99)

In this gentle, bedtime story everyone in the family, even the pets, help take care of the baby throughout the day. The quiet rhythms and reassuring refrain weave a simple song of love for the baby and for the family. The illustrations are humorous with soft colors and an adorable baby. We love this story. Yes, we do.
