It's bedtime in the forest. From the bunnies to the bears, it's time for them to close their eyes and go to sleep.

Each page looks at a family of animals and encourages them to go to sleep. This bedtime story doesn't just stop at the animals, though.

"What about you, sleepyhead?" the book asks as you get to the end. It's time for little boys and girls to go to bed too.
