| "It's time for bed little mouse, little mouse,/Darkness is falling all over the house..." (from the first line) At the end of the day, darkness is falling and little ones are getting sleepy, feeling cozy, and being tucked into bed. (Baby/Preschool)
Annotation:
As night falls, various animals prepare their babies for bed. Once the dog, the cat, the snake, the bee, and all the rest have gotten their young ones off to sleep, a human mother tucks her baby into bed for the night. Watercolor illustrations accompany the rhythmic text.
