Nighty-Night, Cooper is a charming picture book by Laura Numeroff, perfect for children aged 3-7 who might struggle with bedtime. The story follows Cooper, a young kangaroo who is wide awake, and his patient Mama, who uses a clever trick to help him relax. She sings six original lullabies, each set to the tune of a well-known children's song, making them instantly familiar and comforting. This book beautifully captures the loving bond between a mother and child, offering a gentle, musical approach to winding down for the night. It's an ideal read-aloud to establish a peaceful bedtime routine.
When it's time for good night, don't just close your eyes! Mama and Cooper have a sweet surprise. With new songs to sing (you may know the tunes . . . ), Bedtime is special for these kangaroos. Cooper just can't fall asleep! But Mama has an idea. Setting new stories to familiar tunes, Mama shares six new lullabies with her not-so-sleepy son. Which Kanga will be the first one to dreamland? This merry story—with original lullabies—was created by the talented author of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, Laura Numeroff. The sonorous text is paired with art by illustrator Lynn Munsinger—known for her kid-friendly characters like Tacky the Penguin and Wodney Wat. Pair this with Lots of Lambs for another Numeroff/Munsinger treat!
