Sing along to the time-honored nursery rhyme!

Rock-a-Bye Baby is illustrated for very young children by Hazel Q and features an adorable sloth high up in the jungle trees just trying to rock her baby to sleep. This sturdy board book is designed to withstand lots of love and learning, making it a wonderful addition to baby's first library.

Hazel Q. Nursery Rhymes celebrate children's best-loved read along nursery rhymes and songs. Nursery rhymes are the classic introduction for babies and young children to the idea of storytelling. While delighting in the rhyming words and appealing illustrations, children are boosting their language development and learning social skills.

Hazel Quintanilla has a passion for illustration. She has spent her life mastering a wide variety of media. She has worked on over twenty series in the US, England, and India. Hazel lives and works in Guatemala with her husband and their three cute dogs.

In this visualization of the well-known nursery rhyme, the sleeper is a baby sloth, the cradle a long-suffering sloth parent hanging from a tree. The bough does indeed break, in a hilarious beat of freeze-frame cartoon panic. Not to worry, though; everyone arrives on the ground alive and unharmed. In her amusing flat-textured illustrations, Quintanilla ably captures the distinct mixture of joy and exhaustion familiar to all new parents. VERDICT This charming update of an old classic makes a humorous addition to all collections.
