Outside the Window — Anna Egan Smucker

In the evening, when the air cools and the sky turns pink, Mother Bird tucks her babies safely down into their nest... and tells them about a boy who lives in the house nearby. He plays games, takes baths, gets ready for bed, and struggles with his mother...just as the little birds do! Children will delight in seeing themselves from a bird s-eye view in this lushly illustrated bedtime story that s as rhythmic and gentle as a lullaby. A pleasant tuck-me-in. Bulletin of the Center for Children s Books The quietly appealing narrative and warm, richly hued illustrations are just right for bedtime. The Horn Book
