Time to say goodnight

Time to say goodnight. PreSchool-Grade 1–As darkness falls, animal parents gather their young for bed. Little bunnies are stopped mid-hop, cheeping baby birds are shushed, and squirrels suspend their activities and curl up in their tree. Only the owl awakens his sleepy offspring. Two wordless spreads show the animal families tucked into their respective nests, caves, and homes. Near the end, the parents gather to address readers directly: What about You, sleepyhead? The following page shows a young boy sleeping, surrounded by an array of stuffed toys. Chapmans winsome creatures painted in rich jewel tones add to the charm of this gentle bedtime book. The deep purples of the endpapers set the tone for evening time, and the hues darken from the beginning to the end of the story, as night progresses. A sweet rhyming story. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/readtomemomma/support
