In this book, beloved author-illustrator Suzanne Bloom asks readers how they prepare for bed--from putting on jammies to asking for one more hug--then counts down to bedtime from ten terribly tired tigers to one really weary wombat. Each animal demonstrates a different bedtime ritual--skunks somersault into bunks and elephants curl up with their trunks--adding original and inventive rhymes and a clever counting-backward structure to the bedtime book genre. The lyrical, rhyming text combines with dreamy, colorful artwork to provide a perfect way for children to wind down from an active day in a book sure to become a new bedtime classic.
