A child's good night book: a caldecott honor award winner - margaret wise brown

As children snuggle under their covers, birds tuck their heads under their wings, sheep huddle together in a warm blanket of wool, and even boats and trucks are quiet.

Originally published in 1943, this Caldecott Honor book has had its illustrations restored to the original colors of the first edition.

Night is coming and small things without words are going to sleep .

sleepy bunnies, sleepy birds, and sleepy children, too, are getting under their covers.

Jean Charlots illustrations are first-rate.
