Nighttime’s blanket settles. Hush.

"[E]xpressed in gentle rhyming couplets . . . [Farm Lullaby is] intended to lull the littlest human lambs and chicks into peaceful slumber. Young dreamers will appreciate the very colorful illustrations, evocative of mid-20th-century picture books . . . [C]uddly, endearing farm residents resemble winsome, beloved stuffed toys that small children might themselves snuggle under the covers with."
—Kirkus Reviews
"[A]ll is calm and orderly in 'Farm Lullaby,' a wonderfully soothing and retro-feeling picture book written by Karen Jameson. In cozy, gem-colored illustrations created by Wednesday Kirwan, farm animals and their babies settle down to sleep: the mare and her foal; the cow and her calf; the sow and her piglets: 'Oink-a-bye lullaby / Drowsy, dappled piglets lie / Sinking in, mud to skin / Oozy, snoozy, drifting in.' Rhyme and illustration combine to relaxing effect, making this just the sort of book to read at the tail-end of a long day."
