Night Night, Little One — Angela Mcallister

“Night-night, little one,” says Duffy's mommy, but the little rabbit cannot fall asleep. He moves his toys around: monkey next to mouse, big bear next to little bear, and duck in the middle. But it doesn't help. Mommy brings him a drink of water, but that doesn't help either. So Duffy starts singing a song to monkey, but that only gets him in trouble for making too much noise.
Duffy's not scared of the nighttime; he's just lonely and bored because nothing ever happens in the dark. So Mommy sits down and tells him all about the nighttime, when Mr. Fox takes his walk, the Hedgehog family go looking for snails, and Herbert the little badger plays in the very same woods that Duffy plays in during the day. Poor Duffy is getting awfully sleepy now, and as the moon slips its night light into his bedroom, he falls fast asleep.
