The squirrels are fully squirreled away.

The gophers, gophered out.

Young horses stop all horsey play,

And pigs lie tail to snout.

I know you’ve run and jumped and played.

You’ve smiled and laughed and cried.

Now that’s all over for today,

But still, don’t close your eyes.

With silly and adorable characters whose sleepy faces will make you laugh out loud, Don” Close Your Eyes is a unique bedtime book that your child will reach for again and again. Get ready for bed and say your prayers, but whatever you do, don’t close your eyes!
