Review quote
We love this riotously colourful rhyming book: not only does it teach your little ones the names of baby animals but they are sure to be captivated putting them to bed by turning the specially-shaped interactive flaps, which act as a visual duvet for the tired animals. From fuzzy ducklings to fluff spring lambs, this is such a gentle book to help calm your children down for bedtime themselves.
