Bookroo's summary

As night falls, a tranquil world unfolds. Bears slumber in caves, caterpillars nestle in cocoons, and dogs find comfort near loved ones. Experience the gentle whisper of the wind and the twinkle of stars, inviting you into a peaceful slumber. What dreams await in this serene nightscape?

From the publisher

In this classic bedtime book by Charlotte Zolotow, sleep has never seemed more inviting. Simple, lyrical language reveals a world peacefully asleep – from bears in their dark caves to caterpillars in their silky cocoons, to dogs lying near someone they love. Stefano Vitale’s luminous illustrations evoke the serenity of that moment when “the night comes and the wind whispers gently in the trees and the stars sparkle and shine.”
