IN SIMPLE LANGUAGE complemented by full-color, double-spread illustrations of loving animal families, John Butler has crafted the perfect bedtime story for parents to share with young children to bring a quiet, reassuring end to a busy day. Each animal is depicted in its natural setting as, one by one, baby animals are gently put to bed by their mothers and fathers.

From tiny birds and rabbits safely tucked into warm nests and underground burrows to bear cubs resting in their dens and young whales lulled in the deep, blue sea, the noisy animal kingdom settles down for the night.

Reviews

"The 'oooh-ahhh' factor is high here, with cute-as-they-come fluffy penguins and bunnies, contented kangaroo joeys, and cuddled-up birds and mice.... A visually appealing book that is perfectly suited for bedtime reading."

School Library Journal

"Never has the power of suggestion been more irresistible.... astonishingly lifelike close-ups.... children will be smiling too as they drift off to dreamland on the wings of this sonorous beddy-bye rhyme."

Kirkus Reviews

"...the love that's portrayed there is palpable, and little ones will enjoy linking that love with the emotion they feel coming from their own parents."
