Unwrapping some sweet illustrations for you to enjoy
Unwrapping the story
Every parent and child can relate to this sweet bedtime story created by bestselling children's author-illustrator Guido Van Genechten.
When tucking a little one into bed at night there is always a ritual that precedes the nightly event. The author gives a peek at how a variety of animals handle that routine.
Owl gives the signal that it's bedtime and asks if everyone is ready. He receives a variety of responses: little Crab must stretch his claws, little Turtle needs to use the potty, little Goldfish wants to swim one more lap, and little Ladybug is so excited she is doing cartwheels, just to name a few. The mice call for a hush to fall and Victor, their resident human, attends to what he does just before his eyes close.
It seems everyone is calm and settled now ready to drift off to Dreamland. Shhhhhhhh!
The illustrations are colourful, clutter-free and very kid-friendly. The story sets the mood for a great night's sleep. The books are read, the hugs and kisses are passed out and then it's pass out time for the little human. Good night dear child! Sweet dreams! I highly recommend this book.
