AlbakiReads Editorial

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.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Families seeking a brief bedtime read-aloud for babies and preschoolers
  • Readers interested in classic children’s picture books
  • Young listeners who enjoy animal-centered sleep-time scenes

Book overview

Night is coming and small things without words are going to sleep . . . sleepy bunnies, sleepy birds, and sleepy children, too, are getting under their covers. "Jean Charlot's illustrations are first-rate." —NYT. Barbara Bader called this 1943 book, now restored to its original size and format, "the first of the true bedtime books."
