Unwrapping Some Illustrations
The Book
This is a sweet flip-book story that is sure to be shared at bedtime again and again.
Tiger and Crocodile are in need of a good night's sleep. Before they can close their eyes and drift away they need a goodnight kiss. They engage with a variety of animals seeking a kiss. All the creatures they encounter are scared and reluctant to fulfill the request from the two. Why? Could it be the sharp little teeth that are exposed when the two little ones yawn?
Tiger and Crocodile see menacing, sharp-toothed shadows approaching...oh my! Danger is approaching towards them.
They are relieved when they discover that it's Daddy Crocodile and Mommy Tiger seeking them out to plant a kiss on each and say goodnight. Finally they have peace! Good night little ones sleep well!
This is a perfect bedtime story to be shared with snuggles, hugs and kisses! It celebrates the love and care between a blended family. I highly recommend this heartwarming book.
