Synopsis
It's time. Bears, birds, cats, whales, oceans, and the Earth itself must call it a day. They float on the page below a ribbon of words that falls and rises like the tide; above it run scenes of a child being put to bed. This bedtime book is sure to lull the most rambunctious youngster to sleep.
