Naps are...

Naps are nature's way of reminding you that life is nice -
like a beautiful, softly swinging hammock strung between birth and infinity.

Beddy Bye in the Bay

Media_httpecximagesam_fwcci

Land and sea creatures of the Chesapeake Bay are all brought in to this delightful poem that relates how every animal sleeps in a different way.
Herons, crabs, clams, turtles and fish each go to sleep in a different place in the water. So, too, do ducks, butterflies, birds, beavers, and even oysters sleep in their own 'beds'.

Afternoon Nap

Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world,
had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and
then lay down on our blankets for a nap.

Goodnight Moon and Other Sleepytime Tales

Media_httpecximagesam_ajakx

Margaret Wise Brown and Clement Hurd's bestselling children's book headlines this winning 25-minute collection of sleepytime tales from HBO.
Susan Sarandon narrates the simple story of a bunny readying for bed. Other top entertainers lend their voices to the tape: Tony Bennett sings the story of 'Hit the Road to Dreamland'; Lauryn Hill brings rhythm to 'Hush, Little Baby'; Billy Crystal lends many voices to Mercer Mayer's 'There's a Nightmare in My Closet'; and singers Natalie Cole, Aaron Neville, and Patti LeBelle sing other tales.
A dandy video for the youngster, punctuated with interviews of real kids answering a host of bedtime questions. ~ Doug Thomas

Rock-a-bye baby...

Media_httpfarm1static_ihfds

Rock-a-bye baby,
on the tree top,
When the wind blows the cradle will rock;
When the bough breaks the cradle will fall;
Down will come baby, cradle and all.
