About Book

The Baby's Bedtime Book celebrates its twentieth anniversary this year. Together with The Baby's Lap Book, continuously in print since 1977, they defined a genre of books: the beautiful lavish gift book for babies. These are classic compilations of nursery rhymes, poems, and lullabies, embellished with darling babies, children, imaginary characters, and animals.

Now with exquisite new jackets by the ever-popular Chorao, these classics have a fresh look that is joyful, charming, and warm

An anthology of familiar nursery rhymes.

Reviews

Publishers Weekly

Two reissues of Kate Chorao's nursery compendiums, The Baby's Bedtime Book and The Baby's Lap Book, pair the artist's soft spring-like watercolors with familiar rhymes. The first title contains comforting poems by William Blake, Robert Louis Stevenson and others, paired with nocturnal scenes; the second features classic nursery rhymes such as "Old King Cole" and "Georgie Porgie," alongside images of wide-eyed animal characters and impish children.
