This is a classic bedtime story, but the thing I love most about it is the last page where the fire is crackling and the lights in the house are glowing. It makes me sleepy just thinking about it. ( ) Margaret Wise Brown writes about a bunny saying goodnight to various objects and creatures before drifting off to sleep. Brown did this because she believed that children would like to see realistic objects and understand things of the real world. This idea came from a dream and I believe that this book is very creative in the sense that it doesn't lose the fictional characters or setting but the objects are real and easy for young children to understand.
