Sleep

...ba href=/sleep/a/b.

"A frog takes a snooze in the ooze of a pond; a rose makes a bed for a bee." We also learn that swifts ba href=/sleep/a/b on the wing, horses on the hoof, but each page with its easy-on-the-eye pictures of snoozing bees and yawning bats, lulls like a ba href=/sleep/a/by sigh, with facts never disturbing the book's dreamy night-time feel.

This Little Piggy and Other Rhymes to Sing and Play, selected by Jane Yolen, illus Will Hillenbrand (Walker, £14.99), reaches out to parents, children and the lucrative gift market.

This glossy anthology offers a rich, inexhaustible tour of everything you ever need to know about songs and rhymes.

With action rhymes, clapping games and songs to bounce babies on laps, here are familiar favourites: Goosey, Goosey, Gander and I'm a Little Teapot; and less-known rhymes, like Harry Whistle, plus tips on hand actions, musical arrangements and historical facts.

Did you know that Goosey, Goosey Gander originates from a rhyme called Old Father Long Legs?

In Trust Me, Mum!

by Angela McAllister, illus Ros Collins (Bloomsbury, £10.99), a first visit to the shop is a big adventure for Ollie: a spot-on tale of a child overcoming fear.

His mum warns him about strangers and crossing the road, but not the bug-eyed monster, witch or ghost that confront him with that fatal feeling en route to buy his Fireball Fizzers.

This scatters drops of unease, but the silly looking monsters and Ollie's bravery wins through to make this a buoyant read: the picture book equivalent of self-help ...

You said you don't ba href=/sleep/a/b, you probably drive your wife crazy.

Is that because you're so wound up in the game of basketball, your mind is always thinking?

If that's not the case, how do you relax away from the game?

COACH BILLY DONOVAN: I would say I think my mind is always racing.

I'm always thinking about basketball.

I love basketball.

It's my passion.

I just love the game.

I love watching tape.

I love thinking about new ideas, try to do new things with our team.

I think because my mind is racing, I don't ba href=/sleep/a/b very much.

I just don't.

I wake up.

I get up.

I go back to ba href=/sleep/a/b.

I wake up.

It does drive my wife - I think one of the things I've had to learn, when I was playing, everything was a total commitment by myself to trying to become the best player I could become.

Even when I first got married, it was a total commitment to trying to become the best coach I could become.

As I've gotten older, have a child 14, another one 12, another one nine, another one four, you realize the time and energy you put towards your job has a direct reflection on your family.

The biggest challenge I've had in my life is being able to balance that.

It's been very, very hard for me because I would say that I'm very, very much a tunnel vision person, very focused person.

But I've also realized now that my children and my wife, as much as I'm trying to teach my basketball team things, I've got to be able to balance those things.

I think proba...
