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."--Publishers Weekly

Industry Reviews

In this frigid, ponderous rendering of the familiar rhyme, three youngsters rig up a box-boat in an attic . . . which then materializes into a cloud-borne craft outside . . . and finally carries them back . . . to be discovered, sleeping, by their parents. The children are pallid; the colors are uniformly, deliberately drab; the whole has indeed an unhealthy, almost spectral appearance - but not a jot of magic. Both the make-believe and the sentimentality are better served by Barbara Cooney's moon-lit transfiguration. (Kirkus Reviews)
