All the Awake Animals Are Almost Asleep

(2) PS Illustrated by David McPhail. From antelope to zebra, animals prepare for the night and gently succumb to slumber in alliterative prose ("Rabbit relaxes into restful repose, dreaming of ripe red radishes"). It's all depicted in twilight and moonlit tones in McPhail's signature style, as cuddly animals with amiable expressions drift off to dreamland, and a sleepy human child is tucked in.
