A Child's Good Night Book Board Book
Submitted by SarahKate on Sat, 11/10/2007 - 20:38.SarahKate's Notes:
This is a very simple, soothing book about how all creatures on the planet sleep at night. At the end there is a beautiful picture of angels holding children and small animals as they sleep. The last page is a prayer: "Dear Father, hear and bless/Thy beasts and singing birds,/and guard with tenderness/Small things that have no words."
