Mom, Dad, and small daughter prepare for bed on the top portion of the page, while animals in the natural world are depicted sleeping in the gray-lavender tones on the bottom portion of the page. Separated by an inch of sunset, the words dance across the page.

"Everthing yawns -- Shh shh -- When night comes on -- Shh shh
Hen on her roost -- cat on the bed -- you in may lap
Sleepyhead."

The music is included at the end and you can even hear it at georgeellalyon.com
