In this bedtime book children can turn split pages in order to tuck in each character in the story before saying goodnight.

Turn Off That Light!
A little hedgehog is fast asleep when all of a sudden, the light clicks on. He is not happy about being woken. “Turn off that light!” he demands. The light switches off. And then on again. And off. And on. “Who keeps doing that?!” The hedgehog bumbles around, exasperated, in a flurry of onomatopoeia — GRRR!! OW! CRUNCH. BANG! — as his room mysteriously goes from dark to light over and over and over again.
No Monsters Here
It’s bedtime. This little boy is ready to climb the stairs and say goodnight. But father isn’t ready at all. He’s afraid of monsters; he doesn’t want to be left alone downstairs.
This brave lad knows how to handle Father. He’ll patiently lead his parent through the bedtime routine. Naturally the boy won’t mind looking in the closet, behind the drapes and everywhere in between if it will make his anxious father feel better. The boy will cheerfully hop into bed for a bedtime story. And he’ll say, after a final hug, “I’ll hear you if you need me in the night.” Father should feel much better now. But what’s going to happen when he has to go downstairs alone?
Maybe there are monsters in the house after all. But can you guess what they are really after? A reassuring story for confident children and timid parents everywhere.
Little Night
As the long day comes to an end, Mother Sky fills a tub with falling stars and calls, “Bath time for Little Night!” Little Night answers from afar, “Can’t come. I am hiding and you have to find me, Mama. Find me now!” Where could Little Night be? Down a rabbit hole? In a blueberry field? Among the stripes of bees? Exquisitely painted and as gentle as Little Night’s dress crocheted from clouds, this is a story to treasure.
