Cheerful and observant, this rhyming story mirrors the bedtime rituals of children - brushing teeth, begging for a story, needing just one more glass of water - in the antics of a group of appealing young farm animals. We see bunnies gathered in footy pyjamas for a bedtime story, chickens flossing their "teeth", and frogs singing lullabies. It's clever twist on a traditional bedtime book and ends with the promise of an exciting new day. Clock faces are hidden throughout the scenes, giving youngsters a chance to brush up on the search and time-telling skills.
