In this collection of stories, songs, and poems, Margaret Wise Brown whispers tales of dreaming bunnies, drowsy bees, and all the pretty little horses... beautifully illustrated by Garth Williams.
Song Lyrics: Hush-a-bye, don't you cry, Go to sleep my little baby. When you wake you shall have All the pretty little horses. Black and bays, dapples, grays, All the pretty little horses. Hush-a-bye, don't you cry, Go to sleep my little baby. Hush-a-bye, don't you cry, Go to sleep my little baby. When you wake you shall have All the pretty little horses.

| Notes
All the Pretty Little Horses: According to Living Documents in American History from Earliest Colonial Times to the Civil War, edited by John A Scott, the song was collected by Alan Lomax, who learned it from his mother, who took it from North Carolina to Texas after the Civil War.
