It is bedtime, so a soothing end-of-the-day book may be just right. Parents and caregivers have plenty to select from. This board book has a soft padded cover, sturdy pages, warm and sweet drawings in quiet colors, and a repetitive message. The animals on this farm are starting to go to sleep—the puppies snuggle with their mother, the robins are packed tightly in their nest, the rabbits are nestled in the leaves, and so on. We know it is evening because the lamps are casting their glow from each side of the cottage door. Once inside, the farmer sees his own sweet baby now ready for sleep. (Ah, if it were only this easy). The extra bonus is the mobile over baby's head which reprises most of the animals who have also settled down for their own good night's sleep.
