Lull-A-Bye, Little One

by Dianne Ochiltree

"Lull-a-bye, Lull-a-bye, little one, Dinner's over, bedtime's begun." With these words, a mother and father start the night-time ritual of putting a toddler to sleep. There's "splash-a- bye" time in the bathtub with rubber-duck squeaks and bubble-beard cheeks; "rock-a-bye" time where the whole family sings silly songs together; "hush-a-bye" time with Dad reading and the moon watching from high above; and finally, "Lull-a-bye" time again, as the child...

Customer Reviews

Perfect for toddler's night-time routine

Lyrical lines (that scan!) plus beautiful drawings make for a superior book for a toddler about to go to sleep. The book lays out a routine (dinner, putting toys away, bath, cuddle, reading, sleep) with wonderful text and drawings. Very calming and peaceful; I use it for our little girl's night-time routine. The illustrations are very well done -- evocative and colorful, as well as emotionally positive -- both mother and father are represented. All are happy. Highly recommended.

Favorite Book

We received this book free through Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. What a find!!! My 18 month old son is obsessed with it. We have read it as our last story every night for the last 5 months. He can't get enough of it. He loves to point out the pictures and make the "Llll" sound that is repeated throughout the book. I don't know what we'd do without it!

Great bedtime book

My son received this book via Dolly Parton's Imagination Library and he really enjoys it. It's one that we read regularly at bedtime.

Fabulous Wind Down book for bedtime

Fantastic book for bedtime. Our 8 month old son loves looking at the pictures and listening to the melodic words. This is a staple for our bedtime routine.

A great read-aloud for toddlers and preschoolers!

Got a chance to listen to this book being read aloud when the author visited a local nursery school. It was wonderful to see how the kids listened to this sweet, rhyming story. And the pictures were so cute!
