It's a pity the subdued nature of the black, blue and yellow cover of this book is not continued inside. Instead we meet a collection of characters in bed: baby, clown, giant and so on, all in brightly coloured simple pictures which rather destroy the night-time imagery. The rhyming text though reads well and with its strong metre and repeated use of 'Good-night to the...' could prove suitably soporific for bedtime listeners.
