Review Detail

MUSHROOM LULLABY is a gentle picture book that will work well for bedtime. Featuring simple rhymes, it tells of mushrooms and a special mushroom house where the reader plays with friends and then settles down for bedtime.

What I loved: This is quite a whimsical story, which pulls the reader into the mushroom world. First, the book talks about different mushrooms before leading to the special mushroom house. Then, it talks about the fun of the day before leading into the majesty of bedtime. Readers will delight in using their imagination to pretend that they live in this very special house - a lovely mushroom just for them.

The font is large and so easy to read throughout that it works so well for bedtime. There are relatively few words on each page, with merely a phrase or two on the spread. The illustrations are quite detailed and lovely, really inviting the reader to explore this magical world visually on each page and leading into the slower pace that works so well for bedtime books. The amount of words and simplicity of the story along with the rhymes will work well for toddlers on up.

Final verdict: MUSHROOM LULLABY is a beautifully illustrated and whimsical poem that will work well for the bedtimes of imaginative little ones.
