Bookroo's summary
As night falls, a whimsical world unfolds where a farmer might sleep on hay, a baker on dough, and a grocer on lettuce. Each character finds their own peculiar comfort, but all share the universal journey to dreamland. With humor and charm, this tale explores the delightful diversity of bedtime rituals, promising that no matter how different our paths, peaceful slumber awaits us all. What unique bed will you find yourself in tonight?
From the publisher
Does the farmer sleep on a mattress of hay? Is the baker’s bed made of soft, doughy bread? And is the grocer most comfortable resting on a bed of lettuce? No matter what the bed or walls look like, when the day’s activities are done, it’s time for everyone, big or small, to go to sleep. With whimsy and humor, Julie Markes and David Parkins show that – although everybody has a unique idea of quiet and order – happy dreams and slumber await all when evening falls.
