Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star: A Traditional Lullaby

Sylvia Long, Jane Taylor. Chronicle Books, $13.95 (32pp) ISBN 978-0-8118-2854-3

Youngsters well know the opening lines of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. Sylvia Long revisits the classic and includes the traditional verses ""When the blazing sun is gone,/ When he nothing shines upon,/ Then you show/ your little light,/ Twinkle, twinkle,/ all the night"" alongside celestial watercolor depictions of critters heading home at nightfall. A baby frog eats grubs for supper; a mouse is tucked under the covers. (Nov.)
