Chris Haughton's 'Goodnight Everyone' is a charming picture book that follows various woodland creatures, from tiny mice to a great big bear, as they succumb to sleep. Little Bear, however, is determined to stay awake, despite his parents' gentle nudges. The book features unique cut pages that increase in size, subtly introducing children to the concept of scale while creating a visually engaging experience. With its soothing rhythm and infectious 'Good night' refrain, it's an ideal choice for parents seeking a calming story to share before bed, helping children transition peacefully to sleep.
A series of exquisitely coloured cut pages of increasing size introduce woodland families - bears, deer, rabbits and teeny, tiny mice - who are all beginning to feel really... rather... tired... YAWN! "Dear me," says Great Big Bear, "it must be time for bed!" But Little Bear is certainly not sleepy - he's wide awake! (For now...) With sublime, starry night time scenes and an infectious yawny 'Good night' refrain, Chris Haughton creates a lulling bedtime read, perfect for parents and children to share together. Cut pages of increasing size take the readers through the woods, meeting animals from teeny tiny yawning mice up to a sleepy Great Big Bear - gently introducing young children to the concept of size and scale.
