“In a series of rhymes, Wangerin (Probity Jones and the Fear Not Angel) dispels a child’s fear of the dark by teaching the lessons of God’s love and presence. As the rhymes begin, a mother responds to her son’s question: “How much do I love you? / Lay down your head, / My gingerbread, / And listen: I’ll tell you.” She elaborates by telling him that if robbers should come into the room, “I’d clobber those robbers / Until they slobbered / And all their teeth decayed.” If her son is threatened by monsters, “I’d grab my reaper, / My vacuum sweeper, / And suck those monsters down!” After she reassures him that she will protect him against all things, the mother then tells her son, “Here in your room / All night while you’re sleeping, / Kinder and wiser / And best for safekeeping / Is God.” Huang’s illustrations capture the wildness of the child’s imagination and provide just the right background for Wangerin’s humorous rhymes. Ages 5-8.”

From the Author:
Where are the words that can comfort children with the abiding love of adults? When The Bedtime Rhyme is read out loud, children will squirm with pleasure, giggle with assurance, and love the one who reads it to them. In four tiny stories a loving adult (the reader) saves the child; and in one big tale, God is the Savior of all. If my personal gift is the sweetness of words, these words are my gift to the reader-and the child to whom they are read.
From the Back Cover:
A passport to peaceful slumber and sweet dreams. A perfect way to end the day--together.
" I loved it. The most beautiful thing Walt has done"
-Maurice Sendak

- Jan Karon, author of Miss Fannie's Hat and The Mitford Years series
" I very much enjoyed it. Any child who gets this read to them will feel safe and protected."
