About The Book

This sweet and playful bedtime story is the perfect countdown to dreamland for curious little ones excited to stay awake and tired grown-ups eager to coax them to sleep.

Little Groundhog doesn’t want to go to sleep. What exciting adventures might exist when darkness falls? When it sneaks out of the burrow—with Big Groundhog tailing close behind—the groundhog family befriends a fox family whose nocturnal little one is still asleep!

These two animal families handle the classic bedtime challenges with gentle understanding and sweet humor.

And with two cute rhyming countdowns from 10 to 1, this bedtime story will help even the widest-awake little one snuggle up with their grown-up and drift, at last, to sleep.
