It may be time for bed, but these baby animals don’t want to say good night!
It’s bedtime on the farm, but the baby animals aren’t ready to go to sleep. Mother Sheep, Father Duck, Mother Hen, and Father Pig are in for a big surprise when they go to tuck their little ones in: none of the babies are in their own beds! Once the bedtime mix-up is finally straightened out, the parents realize the fun has just begun! Instead of sleep, the baby animals want another story, a drink of water, kisses, and more―anything to delay going to bed. Will these baby animals ever be ready to say “nighty night?”
Kids who aren’t ready to say good night (and parents who are) will be charmed by this happy story with cheerful illustrations, which is sure to become a bedtime favorite.

Margaret Wild is an award-winning author of over thirty books for children. Her books have been published around the world and include Nighty Night!, Old Pig, Fox,Midnight Babies, The Pocket Dogs, Tom Goes to Kindergarten, The Very Best of Friends, and Jenny Angel. She lives in Australia.
Mischievous mix-ups rule in this fun-loving tale of barnyard babies who stave off the bedtime hour for as long as possible. To the consternation of their surprised parents, the ducklings, piglets, lambs and chicks initially swap beds. "You sassy scalawags! You're not my darling ducklings!" Father Duck admonishes the piglets he finds frolicking in his pond. Mother Hen scolds the lambs in her chicken coop, "You naughty scamps! You're not my chicky chicks!" Subsequent stalling tactics will be familiar to children and parents everywhere: "We want ten kisses each!" "Tell us one more story, please!" (Or, as the piglets squeal, "We have to wee, wee, wee!") Australian collaborators Wild and Argent (Miss Lily's Fabulous Pink Feather Boa) depict these antics through simple, rhythmic sentences and muted watercolors that lend a cozy, snuggle-up feel to the story. Argent's expressive paintings combine well with Wild's repetitive and sometimes alliterative phrasing: "Settle down." "Snuggle up." "Sleep tight." "Nighty night!" Young readers won't want these characters to say good night and will surely use this book to forestall their own imminent bedtimes. Ages 2-6.
