Now, here’s a bedtime book that most parents of little ones will identify with – the reluctance of a child to sleep.
The sun’s about to set in a brilliantly portrayed golden glow but Little Hare is as energetic ever. So Mummy Hare decides to take the ‘sleepy way back home’ – a winding path where they get to meet all their special friends who in their own sweet way try to get Little Hare sleepy.
This is a warm tale of friendly neighborliness and childhood innocence and the paintings are simply glorious.
A keeper, I must say!
Excerpt
“Oh, I see!” smiled Mouse with a twinkle in his eye. “I know that special path. Follow me, Little Hare!”
Giggling, Little Hare went scurrying and hurrying after Mouse.
