Lullaby and Goodnight by P. Crumble
Scholastic Australia, 2017. ISBN 9781760276331
(Age: 4+) Highly recommended. Lullaby and Goodnight is an
Australian themed lullaby in picture format. It uses soft rhythmical
language to gently soothe a baby or small child to sleep. The
narrator speaks of their love holding tight, giving their heart and
never wanting to be apart. On each page, readers will find an
Australian animal and their baby. From a wombat to a koala, the
illustrations are life-like and beautifully detailed.
This book will make a great gift for new parents or a child's first
birthday. Parents and children will enjoy sharing the words of love
while learning about Australian animals.
This story is highly recommended for readers aged 4+. There is also
an accompanying CD with a recording of the lullaby sung by
Australian actor and performer Miranda Tapsell.
