Simple illustrations and a gentle rhyming text combine to tell the story of a sleepy young rabbit saying goodnight to all the things he can see and hear as he drifts off to sleep. Alternating double page, full color paintings with single page, B&W spot paintings, this classic bedtime tale has lulled countless children to sleep since it was first published in 1947. Sharp-eyed readers can search for the little mouse that is hiding within each of the color illustrations and note how, as this bedtime tale progresses, the illustrations grow subtly darker, setting the stage for sleep.
