Night Wishes selected by Lee Bennett Hopkins


What do you wish for when you or your child dreams? 

Thoughts: This is such a sweet collection of poems to share with your child at bedtime. I love how most poems address the child directly. My favorite poems are "Blanket" by Jude Mandell, "Book" by Joyce Sidman, and "Stars" by Deborah Ruddell. Jen Corace's gouache illustrations are charming. I especially like the use of dandelions throughout. 

Themes: Bedtime

(Illustrated by Jen Corace. Eerdmans Books for Young Readers, 2020.)
