An enchanting story for all toddlers

This is one of the most creative and enchanting stories for children I have ever read, with captivating illustrations to boot. My 2 1/2 year old daughter asks for "Hubashy" every night before going to bed. It simply is the best book in our collection.

'Night, 'Night, Sleep Tight.....

It's the end of the day, and creatures large and small are worn out and in need of sleep. From the mother cat with her little kittens, three very tired, suitcase carrying bears, a weary, droopy-eyed fish, and a too-long flying goose, to the man in the moon who'll be sound asleep soon, an eye rubbing, sleepy baby in a boat, and a frog who's tired and dry from hopping all day, all are looking for a place to rest, hushabye.....Award winning author and illustrator, John Burningham, has created a soothing and comforting bedtime story that's just perfect for preschoolers as young as one. The calming rhythm of his simple, quiet, sometimes rhyming text, begs to be whispered, and will lull your little ones to sleep with its gentle motion. Expressive, colorful, and childlike artwork, along with pencil sketches enhance his words. Hushabye will easily become part of your bedtime ritual. "You are tucked up in bed./You toes are all warm./You're out of the wind/and the rain./Your head's on the pillow./You'll soon be asleep./Hushabye/Hushabye/Hush"
