Sleepy ABC, written by Margaret Wise Brown and illustrated by Esphyr Slobodkina. Originally published in 1953 by Lothrop. Republished in 1994 by HarperCollins.

When nighttime approaches, all the world is ready for sleep. The small kitten yawns at the hearth, the lambs in the field close their eyes, and a young child waits for a goodnight kiss. Margaret Wise Brown's tender rhymes and Esphyr Slobodkina's patchwork-quilt motif artwork gently and lovingly illustrate each letter of this sleepy, bedtime alphabet, first published in 1953.
