Shields, Gillian When the World Is Ready for Bed illustrated by Anna Currey 32 pgs. Bloomsbury, 2009. PICTURE BOOK. $14.99. This little rabbit family settles down for the night after having dinner and cleaning up toys. The rhyming text, although not my favorite-it seems a little forced- has a gentle rhythm that makes it sound like a quiet lullaby. The last page is my favorite as it makes a promise that "Always lovely, always new, tomorrow's waiting just for you." Great for kids before bed. Using a watercolor style, Currey has created soft hues and tones to match the gentle rhyming text of the book. Just beautifully crafted illustrations. PUBLIC- ADVISABLE. Whitney, Library-Teacher.
