Synopsis
A long day is drawing to a close, and several creatures are ready for sleep. A cat with a stroller full of kittens needs a place to rest, as does the baby who’s been sailing a boat on the sea. The man in the moon is exhausted, and three tired bears make their weary way up a flight of stairs. Soon, though, each has found a place for the night where they can sleep and wake up ready for a new day.
Featuring a simple story and the repeated refrain “Hushabye hush hush,” John Burningham’s latest is the perfect lullabye to soothe even the most restless little one.

Review
The day is long for a cat with a stroller full of kittens, a baby sailing a boat on the sea, the man in the moon, and a frog who has been hopping all day in the heat. It's time for everyone to lie down and rest. One by one, each sleepy critter finds a place in which to curl up for the night. "Hushabye hushabye hush."
Award-winning author-illustrator John Burningham has created a perfect bedtime book for sleep-resistant children. The rhythmic repetition of "hushabye" lulls readers into contentment, and the oh-so-sleepy-eyed baby, fish, goose, frog, and others will soon have young ones rubbing their eyes as well. Burningham's dreamy, scratchy line drawings against rich, densely colored backgrounds are strikingly beautiful. Each one is worthy of its own frame. Two-page spreads feature the full-color illustrations on one side, with text and a related line drawing on the other side. Burningham has written and illustrated more than 20 eye-catching books for kids, including Cloudland, Mr. Gumpy's Outing, and Mr. Gumpy's Motor Car. (Ages 2 to 6) --Emilie Coulter
