Children's Literature - Susie Wilde New in board book format, Molly Bang's Ten, Nine, Eight is a rhythmic count down to bed as a young girl and her father count their ways through nightly rituals of bath, stuffed animals, dressing, and good night kisses. The rhymes are calming for young babies and may help toddlers who fight the bedtime experience. The illustrations are as gentle as the words from "10 small toes all washed and warm" to "1 big girl all ready for bed."
