A nighttime question-and-answer journey

As evening settles, a young girl wonders where the creatures around her go to rest. Butterflies and kittens are among those who answer, turning the bedtime setting into a series of small nighttime discoveries. The book’s recurring question-and-answer pattern invites participation, while its rhythmic text connects the animals’ preparations for sleep with the girl’s own move toward bed. At 40 pages, it brings together animal curiosity and a familiar end-of-day routine in a picture-book format.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy animal-focused picture books
  • Families looking for a bedtime story with a recurring question-and-answer pattern
  • Young readers curious about where animals rest at night

Where do you go?
Where do you go
when the sun goes down?

I go under a leaf.
I find a good leaf,
and crawl underneath.

Come along as a young girl spends her evening learning just where butterflies and kittens go to get their rest. Through soothing and interactive dialogue, the creatures answer the question "where do you go when the sun goes down?" until the girl finally makes her way safe and sound to bed.

Perfect for curious children and restless readers who need one more story before bed, this engaging picture book gives readers a peek into the nighttime habits of some of their favorite creatures. Award-winning author Greg Pizzoli's gentle rhythmic text and snug illustrations make this the perfect last read before turning out the light.
