Harper Growing Tree series.
This book enumerates where various animals sleep, before describing a child's bedroom and bedtime rituals in comparison. Everything about this book is soothing: the gently rhyming text, rich with alliteration and assonance; the soft, cool-toned watercolor illustrations, new to this edition; even the rounded corners of the pages. A mellifluous choice for bedtime reading.
