When the World Is Ready for Bed by Gillian Shields

A family of rabbits go through their end-of-day routine, from having their tea to brushing their teeth, sharing a story and being tucked up in bed, until they peek out of the window and see something that's a change from their usual routine in this classic picture book. With delectable art and warm, lyrical text, this is a thoroughly modern picture book with strong echoes of books such as The Velveteen Rabbit and the works of Beatrix Potter.

A wonderful tale with masses of charm . . . This book is perfect for quieting the littlest listeners * Aldershot News and Mail *
What better way to make your little darling nod off than to read a lilting story about sleepy-time rituals while she gazes at the soft, warm pictures? * Junior *
