Children's author and illustrator Kenneth Kraegel spins a smoothly soothing bedtime spell in this rhyming picture book focusing on fungi. His eponymous lullaby describes different kinds of mushrooms, before switching to the idea of a mushroom house where the reader / listener can play all day, before retreating to his cozy mushroom chair and then bed, to get some much-needed rest...

A gentle text that will lull the young listener to sleep is paired with lovely ink and watercolor artwork in Mushroom Lullaby, making it an excellent title to read at bedtime.

A whimsical picture book about dreaming about mushrooms and living in a mushroom! What's not to like! The illustrations are quirky and sort of weird, in the best possible way. Perfect for preschoolers 3-5 yrs old also Kindergarten.
