Wynken, Blynken, & Nod
Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes,
and Nod is a little head,
And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies
is a wee one’s trundle-bed.
Eugene Field’s classic bedtime poem—about three children’s adventures sailing in a wooden shoe—is brought to life with Johanna Westerman’s vivid illustrations.
Westerman’s minutely detailed watercolors depict a Dutch landscape. The luminosity of the moonlit sea is captured in muted shades of blue that create a soothing mood for the dramatic verse.
School Library Journal
Westerman captures the tone of the poem in a fittingly traditional way. . . a pleasing rendition of an old favorite.
Booklist
Westerman’s inventive design elements provide a soothing accompaniment for the familiar text, a staple for bedtime reading.
