## Description

My little one, lay down your head. It's time to doze, it's time for bed. You tell me, " I'm not sleepy now." " Just try," I say. You ask me, " How?" As a mother tries to tuck her child in for the night, she tells him about all the awake animals that are getting sleepy. From antlered Antelope to zzz-ing Zebra, this alphabet of animals becomes an exquisite celebration of language and nature, just right for lulling even the most wide-awake little ones into a cozy, soothing slumber.
