About This Book

A young bunny says goodnight to everything in the great green room β€” the moon, the stars, the mittens, the kittens. A bedtime ritual in book form.

Why This Age

The rhythmic, repetitive text is perfectly calibrated for pre-verbal and early-verbal children. An ideal sleep transition book.

How to Use

  • Use as a nightly bedtime routine book
  • Let your child point to and name objects in the room
  • Whisper the 'goodnight' lines together
