A city’s nighttime sounds become a bedtime refrain

As a child settles into bed, the city outside keeps humming: horns, sirens, trains, and people carry on after playtime ends. Debbie Rigaud’s picture-book premise pairs that lively urban soundscape with the familiar ritual of getting ready for sleep, making nighttime in the city the subject as much as bedtime itself. Chicago, Brooklyn, Baltimore, and Seattle are named among the places evoked. The description presents the book as suited to reading aloud, with city noises framed as a lullaby rather than a sign that the world has gone silent.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy bedtime and dream-themed picture books
  • Families looking for a read-aloud about city life and nighttime sounds

Book overview

Celebrate the sounds of nighttime in the city as you drift into dreamland.
Beep beep to sleep!


Busy streets at volumes high.
Their sounds are their lullaby

Playtime is over for the day. In the warm glow of a night-light, a child snuggles into their cozy bed. And that must mean the world outside is also slowing down, going still and quiet, ready for sleep . . . right?

Wrong! Not in the city--because cities rarely sleep. They're always rumbling, wailing, and lighting up with activity. From Chicago to Brooklyn, from Baltimore to Seattle, cities everywhere are alive with the sounds of horns, sirens, trains, and people.

This symphony of familiar city sounds, perfect for reading aloud, is both a marvelous tribute to urban life and a great way to wind down before drifting off for the night, beep beep to sleep.
