"Yawny and dozy, twitchy and cozy. Good night, rabbits. Sleep tight..." The flip of a flap turns a yawning bunny baby in a parent's arms into a sleeping one. The sweet concept plays out five more times, with different animals, until "it's your turn, sleepyhead." The mixed-media spreads have a soporific glow, and the text uses soft consonants and a soothing cadence.
