About this book
The animals in the forest are finishing their day and settling down to sleep – birds returning to their nests, fireflies turning off their lights, the squirrels and deer snuggling down under the trees.
It’s time for quiet and time for dreams, and at the end of the book everyone is asleep, parent animal and babies resting peacefully together.
A soft, lyrical lullaby of a book, Shhh… Good Night has gently rhyming text and repeated phrases perfect for soothing little ones into sleep. And it’s beautiful to look at, too, with gorgeous yet quiet colours, lovely thick paper, and stunning cutouts to evoke the forest setting. A lovely book to snuggle down with at the end of a busy day.
