Hush-A-Bye Night: Goodnight Lake Superior by Thelma Lynne Godin My rating: 5 of 5 stars Since I live just a stone's throw away from Gitche Gumee, aka Big-Sea-Water, aka Lake Superior, I was immediately drawn to this lovely read aloud book. The story is lyrical, calming and charming. The illustrations are out of this world amazing. Lots of details, stories within stories. This is a beautiful tribute to the "Mother" Lake of Michigan and the wonders that can be found around it. View all my reviews
