Goodnight Goodnight Sleepyhead Board Book by Ruth Krauss

Help your little one get ready for sleep with the gentle classic Goodnight, Goodnight, Sleepyhead.

A young child bids her surroundings an affectionate goodnight before settling down for a peaceful night's sleep: Goodnight eyes, goodnight nose, goodnight fingers, goodnight toes.

With comforting text from Ruth Krauss, the beloved author of the classics The Carrot Seed and A Hole Is to Dig, and charming illustrations from bestselling illustrator Jane Dyer, this story is perfect for reading to little ones at bedtime. This board book edition comes in a smaller trim size and sturdy board book pages, perfect for little hands.

Short, sweet--and comfortably familiar.--Kirkus

Krauss's classic tale has a structure that's very similar to Goodnight Moon. As a child says goodnight to familiar objects, the story's repetition, rhythm, and rhyme lull little readers to sleep.-- Brightly.com

Ruth Krauss (1901-1993), a member of the experimental Writer's Laboratory at the Bank Street School in New York City in the 1940s, imaginatively used humor and invented words to create some of the very first books for children that highlighted a child's inner life. She collaborated with some of the greatest illustrators in children's literature, including Maurice Sendak and her husband, Crockett Johnson.


Marc Simont (1915-2013) illustrated nearly a hundred books. He won a Caldecott Honor in 1950 for illustrating Ruth Krauss's The Happy Day, and in 1957 he was awarded the Caldecott Medal for his pictures in A Tree Is Nice by Janice May Udry. He is the illustrator for The New York Review Children's Collection books The Wonderful O and The 13 Clocks.
