What did you like about the book? It is bedtime in the forest, but Wolf cannot sleep. He tries a warm bath and a bedtime snack, but nothing works. Wolf decides that sleep must be hiding and sets off to find it. Along the way Wolf wakes up Badger and Hedgehog who join him in the quest for sleep. The three finally find Owl who tells them that they will never find sleep, but that sleep can find them in a bedtime story. Owl reads to the three friends from a book just like the one we are reading and soon they are all fast asleep. The illustrations in nighttime tones of blues and purples perfectly capture the bedtime forest. The gentle story and beautiful illustrations will send little ones off to sleep.
