PreS-Two cheerful, soothing collections. One or two selections appear per page; cartoon art full of smiles and warm pastels accompanies each rhyme and fills the spreads. The bedtime verses include "Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John" and the lyrics to the lullaby "All Through the Night." The board-book pages and squishy covers will withstand young children's affections. The familiarity of the rhymes and sweetness of the pictures will appeal to them.-Amelia Jenkins, Juneau Public Library, AK (c) Copyright 2010.

Two soft-covered board books just right for smallest hands celebrate popular rhymes with soothing illustrations by Sanja Rescek: Hickory, Dickory, Dock: And Other Favorite Nursery Rhymes and Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star: And Other Favorite Bedtime Rhymes. "One, Two, Buckle My Shoe" depicts a multicultural cast of characters carrying out the activities alongside helpful numerals on one spread, while another spread shows Jack and Jill tumbling downhill, opposite a before-and-after illustration of Little Miss Muffet.

Part of the My Little World series, this board book gathers 10 short nursery rhymes, each getting its own spread. Galloway's crisp digital graphics give the book the pared-down feel of an app, as a brown owl dons a nightcap for "Star light, star bright" and a bear assumes the role of Wee Willie Winkie, running past a trio of pastel-colored houses in his blue striped nightgown. Other entries include favorites like "Row, row, row your boat" and "Rock-a-bye, baby," and while this isn't the most distinctive collection out there, in terms of either artwork or selections, it's a fine introduction to some classic rhymes. Simultaneously available: Hickory, Dickory Dock. Ages 2-5. (Mar.) © Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
