From School Library Journal PreSchool-When a baby elephant refuses to take his nap， family members each take a turn trying to lull him to sleep. Mama sings Bernard the "Elephant's Lullaby，" Papa reads him a sleepy story， and Grandma sits by him with her knitting needles peacefully clacking. However， all they succeed in doing is putting themselves to sleep， while contrary Bernard continues to insist he is not tired-until the house becomes so quiet that he gets into bed and goes to sleep on his own. Pastel illustrations depict an appealing elephant family whose members barely fit on the pages. A palette of rich， muted tropical hues adds interest to an average text.Teri Markson， Los Angeles Public LibraryCopyright 1999 Reed Business Information， Inc.
