Tuck Me In!

Dean Hacohen and Sherry Scharschmidt, Candlewick, $9.99 (40p) ISBN 978-0-7636-4728-5

"It's time for bed. Who needs to be tucked in?" Hacohen and Schar-schmidt's first children's book, tailor-made for bedtime, is clever in its simplicity and execution, allowing tuckees to become the tuckers in this beloved nightly ritual. Readers lift blanket-shaped flaps over a baby zebra, moose, hedgehog, and others who are ready to turn in, as each animal is bid good night. In the end, kids can join the animals, as the book concludes, "Does anyone else need to be tucked in? Do you? Good night, you!" Ages 18 mos.–4 yrs. (Sept.)
