Book details
Hushabye
Description
A long day is drawing to a close, and several creatures are ready for sleep. A cat with a stroller full of kittens needs a place to rest, as does the baby who’s been sailing a boat on the sea. The man in the moon is exhausted, and three tired bears make their weary way up a flight of stairs. Soon, though, each has found a place for the night where they can sleep and wake up ready for a new day. Featuring a simple story and the repeated refrain 'Hushabye hush hush,' John Burningham’s latest is the perfect lullabye to soothe even the most restless little one.
