Topics in Hop Along Boo, Time for Bed
Are there any details of Hop Along Boo, It’s Time for Bed that you particularly love that readers should watch for?
Oooohhh loads, I love the first PJ parade, the transition from night wear to what the children will dream about. I also love the ballet shoes hung on the tree in the dancing spread. The cosiness of the cowboy wagon and the tiny babies in the camping spread.

This is an AMAZING book that I never get tired of reading and my toddler never gets tired of listening to. He'll ask for this book again and again and again and when we had a couple night stay in the hospital earlier this year, this is one of the three books we grabbed as we ran out the door. The illustrations are peaceful and dreamy (the parades of children in their pajamas are my favorite!) and the rhymes are calming and lullaby-esque.
Mandy Sutcliffe's inspiration comes from growing up in the countryside of Cheshire, England. She lives in Bristol with her family, where she spends her days creating the idyllic worlds of the Belle & Boo books, now joined by The Little Dancers, and drinking far too many cups of tea.
