Tell Me Something Happy Before I Go to Sleep
Illustrated by Debi Gliori
A comforting picture book for little ones who just cannot get to sleep. The troubled bunny Willa of this story turns to big brother, who in his wisdom helps her resolve fears of the dark and possible bad dreams. Together they think of happy things, but after each happy thought Willa remains fiercely awake, and asks, 'What else?' The resolution is lovely, for big brother tells Willa that the morning is sad. Sad because the morning likes to wake her up...so she must get off to sleep. The title page is full of comforting sleeping toys, and the gentle text is matched with splendid illustrations. A book to read again and again
