Bunny Should Be Sleeping written by Amy Hest Published by Neal Porter Books
Soon Dad will come. He will come in the night to check on his little Bunny. Come on, Dad! Check on me, check on me, check on me!
Bunny can’t sleep yet – not without seeing Dad! So, he slips out of bed, packs a wagon with everything Dad might need, and sets off down the hall to check on him instead.
Award-winning creators Amy Hest and Renata Liwska team up for a bedtime book as adorable and warm as two bunnies. Bunny Should Be Sleeping reminds young readers that they are safe and loved, even when the house is dark and quiet.
