She?s back! It?s nighttime now and the day is winding down. Through warm, colorful illustrations, young ones see the little girl as she eats dinner, takes a bath, and says goodnight to her dolls. Her father reads her a bedtime story, but she?s not quite ready to go to sleep. She gets up for a glass of water, a hug, a reading session with her mom, and then, when both of her parents fall asleep, she?s ready for bed again. Children love routines and can easily see themselves in this simple, wordless story.

"Ormerod once again proves how closely attuned she is to a baby's world....introducing him or her to the joys of verse....The book is a visual delight; a few deft brush strokes blossom into a familiar menagerie that includes a terrier, a hen and a contented pig, among others, and the rich, bright colors and flat surfaces have a primitive, reassuring coziness just right for this lap-time outing. Chalk up another winner for Ormerod."--Publishers Weekly.
