Tom Paxton
illustrated by Elizabeth Miles 2001
Madeleine first brought this home from her elementary school library and I fell in love. I had never heard the
song before but I couldn't help but read it with a sing-song voice. The illustrations are pretty wonderful too. This has become a popular bedtime read in our house. I'd like to think the kids fall asleep with dreams of
sailing on a starlight sea and
dancing on the decks of a red-sailed brig.
Jennifer slept in her little bed
With dreams of her rabbit in her little head.
Jennifer's rabbit, brown and white,
Left the house and ran away one night
