About This Book

Before drifting off to sleep, Little Monkey makes sure to say good night to everyone under the circus tent, from the Ringmaster to the clowns and even Mama. His playful good night rounds turn into a lively part of the show, full of fun and laughter, until it's finally time to say good night to himself. Bright, cheerful pictures and easy-to-join words make saying good night a joyful bedtime ritual.
