And once every creature is tucked in tight, shhh . . . It's time for everyone to say goodnight.
Follow along on a forest walk as each woodland creature returns to their home for the night. The dreamy illustrations make this story a great read for all ages and the poetry that Karen Jameson uses to describe the creature is truly magical. 
For example, when saying goodnight to the bear she says
Come home, Big Paws. Berry picker. Honey trickster. Shadows deepen in the glen. Lumber back inside your den.
