Vanessa Cabban.
It's bedtime, but the forest children--bears, hedgehogs, rabbits, and toads--all have reasons to stay up: they want to sing or play or look for food. Then "wise Grandma Owl" tells them a story about themselves, and they go off to sleep. The pencil and watercolor illustrations feature engaging families of animals against rich blue-and-green foliage under a darkening night sky.
