Bonnie and Ben's favorite babysitter, Skinny Doug, has a treasure trove of nursery rhymes to share in this clever presentation that frames the rhymes in the context of a story about two young charges not eager for bedtime. "'We love it! We love it!' said Bonnie and Ben. 'How does it go? Will you say it again?'" This refrain is their response each time Skinny Doug recites a rhyme. But he always has a new one to share. "'... I'll tell you another I heard from my mother ... '" Inevitably, the game is eventually over. "Good night, Sleep tight!" The playful illustrations show Bonnie, Ben, and Skinny Doug as participants in each of the nursery rhyme scenarios in addition to reflecting the warmth of their relationship as they go through the ritual of bedtime. (Ages 3-6)

A sweet good-night story by internationally bestselling picture book author Mem Fox!

Good Night, Sleep Tight reunites bestselling picture book author Mem Fox with illustrator Judy Horacek, following their collaboration on Where is the Green Sheep?

In this sweet story that's just perfect for bedtime reading, Bonnie and Ben's favourite babysitter tells them nursery rhymes at bedtime -- including "It's raining! It's pouring! The old man is snoring"; "This little piggy went to market"; and more. Bonnie and Ben enjoy the stories so much that they don't want to go to sleep; they want to hear each one again! Instead the babysitter tells them new nursery rhymes until, finally, all three of them fall fast asleep.
