Description:

The sun is dipping low and the moon is rising over Lala's village, but bedtime is the very last thing on Lala's mind. She is just not quite finished with the day yet, and absolutely must say good night first... to the cat, then to the goat, then to the chickens, then to the friendly bird flapping past, then to the monkey, the dog, the ants, and even, eventually, to a rock. With every cheeky stall and gentle goodnight, the sky deepens and the stars come out, until at last she settles softly into bed for one final, much-loved goodnight ritual. Caldecott Honor winner Rachel Isadora's warm, glowing oil paintings make this African-village bedtime story a true visual treat, and Lala's adorable delaying tactics will feel achingly familiar to every parent and child who has ever drawn out the day.
