One More Question Before Bed: 25 Bedtime Stories That Really Answer What Your Child Asks, Ages 3-6

Why is the sky blue? Where do birds sleep? Why does the moon change shape? Every night, right at the edge of sleep, one more question. This book answers twenty-five of them the way a small child can take them in: inside a gentle story, with a neighbour, a lantern and a very talkative hedgehog, and a real answer at the end of every one. Noa, the neighbour Ida and Pim the hedgehog walk through one whole year of evenings. Each story slows down as it goes, so the last page is the quietest, and every one ends with the same goodnight line. What's inside - 25 bedtime stories, three pages each, read aloud in about five minutes- Every story answers one real question a child asks: the sky, the stars, the weather, animals, my body, everyday things- A one-sentence Goodnight fact to say together before the light goes out- A short For grown-ups panel with the full answer, in case the next question arrives- The same three characters and the same gentle goodnight line in every story- 80 pages, full colour, 25 full-page illustrations, 7 x 10 inches Who it's forParents and grandparents reading to children aged 3 to 6 who ask why, and then ask why again. No lectures, no lists of facts: a story first, and the answer inside it. The questions will keep coming. This book is for the last one of the day.
