Book Reviews of Wynken, Blynken, and Nod
Book Review: Ethereal, captivating illustrations bring this old classic back to life
Summary: 5 Stars
Do you remember the classic poem by Eugene W. Field that begins:
Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night
Sailed off in a wooden shoe---
Sailed on a river of crystal light,
Into a sea of dew.
"Where are you going, and what do you wish?"
The old moon asked the three.
"We have come to fish for the herring fish
That live in this beautiful sea..."
Well, to put it simply, Giselle Potter's new picture book version of this poem is absolutely stunning. The rhythmic verse of the poem that always stays in my head long after I read it is accompanied by Potter's dreamy and enchanting illustrations in rich, deep tones of blue and green.
Potter has masterfully captured the magical and ethereal feel of the poem, and children will love hearing this read to them over and over again. Perfect for a bedtime read-aloud, I highly recommend this book.
