In this sweet rhyming picture book, a mother prepares her daughter for bed by telling her about the different animals that live nearby and their nighttime activities. The mother's narrative comes full circle from night to dawn, and the little girl is lulled to sleep dreaming about her animal friends.
"... soothing bedtime rhyme ...the text forms the scaffolding
for Corace's elegant spreads...In a quiet but dramatic closing
moment, the walls of the child's room open out onto the night sky
and the moonflowers like an elaborate theater set... Ages 3-7
