Anyone who knows me can tell you that I love children's picture books. Not only do I enjoy reading them for Story Time at work, I also write my own - which I am hoping to get published one day.
So, I unashamedly collect them. I don't even use the excuse that I hope to have grandkids one day - although they will come in handy when that happens.
I just like cute little stories with soft, gentle illustrations.
Hence, I have a number of them on my Amazon wishlist.
My son plucked this one from the list as a stocking filler for me for Christmas.
I love it.
The illustrations are adorable. I really love the soft, pastel shades rather than the brash harsh colours of a lot of modern stories.
The 'story' - if it can be said to have one - deals with the animals settling down to sleep after a busy day, in simple rhymes that children will love and parents will find easy to read.
A winner for any nursery. ( )

Beautifully illustrated story of African animals getting ready to sleep. Listeners might not always get the hint, but you can always try! Anyone who has seen a group of little boys playing is sure to laugh at the drawings of the monkeys ( )

Great for grades k-2. Tells about how the animals get ready for bedtime. Each child can write a story about how they get ready for bedtime.
