Synopsis

"What happens when it's time for busy diggers to wind down and go to sleep? Many of the same bedtime rituals as little girls and boys. The sweet reminder that toys will be waiting for young readers in the morning is a nice added touch at the end." - Seira Wilson, Amazon Editor

Getting to dreamland has never been more fun with this board book version of the beloved construction bedtime tale.

The bedtime rituals of these little diggers and dump trucks will be quite familar to kids saying goodnight. Young readers will surely identify with little fire engines, tractors, and monster trucks as they ask for one more story while their mommy trucks tuck them in, and their daddy trucks sing a goodnight song. Children who can't get enough of trucks and other vehicles will love Brianna Caplan Sayres things-that-go...to sleep books, including companion titles Where Do Steam Trains Sleep at Night, and Where Do Jet Planes Sleep at Night?
