This gentle bedtime book, with its rhyming text and luminous watercolor illustrations, is sure to be a winner with very young children and the adults responsible for getting them to sleep. "When the world / Is ready for bed, / The sky grows dark, / The sun glows red" it begins, following the evening activities of a family of rabbits. From steaming cups of soup around the dinner table, to the ritual of kisses, hugs and prayers that precede climbing into bed, the little rabbits are surrounded by love every step of the way...

Anna Currey's endearing illustrations, which depict a world of warmth and light, are the ideal accompaniment to Gillian Shield's sweet narrative. The reassuring final passage: "Today has nearly / Slipped away; / Tomorrow brings / Another day. / Always lovely, / Always new, / Tomorrow's waiting / Just for you" offers the perfect conclusion to this lovely tale.
