Title: The Going to Bed Book Author: Sandra Boynton Illustrator: Sandra Boynton Age Range: Baby - 4

Sandra Boynton's colorful board book, The Going to Bed Book, is a naptime treat. An assortment of expressive animals gets ready for bed aboard a giant boat.The book shows them getting ready for bed (bathing (all in one giant tub), find pajamas, brushing thier teeth ("With some on top and some beneath, they brush and brush and brush their teeth."), and even exercising together (elephant jumping rope, a moose lifting weights, and a pig doing handstands). It closes with the animals settling down for the night: The moon is high. The sea is deep. They rock and rock and rock to sleep.
