Illustrated by
Julia Noonan.
When a restless toddler can't sleep, his father brings him outside for a late-night, pajama-clad walk, and together they see animals--mouse, owl, raccoon, dog, cat, skunk, and possum--all busy with their own nocturnal wanderings. Soft, moonlit illustrations follow the rhyming, repetitive guessing game within the text to its predictably sleepy close.

Originally published as 'The Bundle Book', Krauss's text has been re-illustrated and retitled. The text is reassuring and cozy--a small child hides under a blanket and the mother repeatedly guesses what the bundle might contain. The illustrations are soft and romantic, printed on nursery-yellow paper with a pastel palette and a blue-eyed "Gerber baby." The text is charming and realistic, but the artwork is sentimental.
