When it's time to turn off the lights, readers will likely request a rereading. A recording by Babypants (aka Chris Ballew, lead singer for the Presidents of the United States of America) is available for download. Ages 4 — 8. (Sept.)" Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC.

Each leaf of this beautifully created board book reveals a different animal — an earthworm, a black bear, a lazy dog, a hooty owl — each shown in a unique form of light — dawn light, winter light, fire light, starlight.

Caspar Babypants offers two free MP3 downloads of songs based on the text of Bunny Rabbit in the Sunlight; one for daytime, one for bedtime.
