1944 Caldecott Honor Book
Named a 1944 Caldecott Honor Book; this is an honor, not a Caldecott Medal win.
A picture-book goodnight for the smallest listeners
As night arrives, the book notices wordless little creatures settling down: bunnies, birds, and children beneath their covers. First published in 1943 and restored here to its original size and format, this brief bedtime picture book builds its subject around the shared ritual of going to sleep. Jean Charlot’s illustrations accompany Margaret Wise Brown’s nighttime roll call, placing the book within the early tradition of American bedtime books. Its compact 32-page format suits a short wind-down read aloud.
