Close Your Eyes

The story of a young tiger that doesn't want to sleep for fear that he will something is very soothing and well written. It is the story of a tiger that is being taught the beauty of dreaming and imagination. It's pleasant and reassuring and I enjoyed it a lot.

This book had a very simple bedtime story but was beautifully illustrated. The illustrations looked like they were done with oil, which gave them a lot of depth and texture. The vibrant colors brought the jungle scenes to life.
I thought this was a great bedtime story book for younger children.

This is such a sweet goodnight story. It's originally in English (as "Close Your Eyes"), but the translation is very good.

A mother tiger convinces her cub to close his eyes by telling him all the wonderful things he'll see.

A little tiger doesn't want to close his eyes to take a nap because then he cannot see the world around him. His mother explains that he can use his imagination to envision the world even with his eyes closed.
